Hi, my question is to classify the characters not recognize the characters in image. eg: I have characters from 1 to 10 and a to z, if my input image is a number 6, it should give the output as 6 or belongs to class numbers

Hi Prashanth,

If your goal is to recognize printed text you can use the ocr function in the Computer Vision System Toolbox. If your goal is to learn about SVM, then see the Digit Classification Using HOG Features example.

Hi Dima, the imageset functions are available only in matlab R2014b. Is it any other help available to execute in matlab R2014a

Hi Brindha,

You should use the R2014a version of the example. Generally, in cases like this either consult the documentation that came with your MATLAB installation, or click the "Other Releases" link in the MATLAB documentation on the web.
