-
Hi, How can we get data or characters which is present on image.Actually i have captcha images in .JPEG extension and from that images i have to remove noise, extract the characters and then i have to convert the extracted characters in to string.So please give some idea how to proceed further.
There's a reason why it's noisy and distorted. It's so that you CAN'T use automation to get those characters!

What did I just get done telling you?? You CAN'T DO THAT because CAPTCHA was designed specifically to defeat what you're trying to do!

What part of "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" don't you understand? The text in those images is deliberatly wavy a filled with noise so that no OCR software can read it. You can't get the text in a CAPTCHA image because there's no technology out there that can read it! That's the whole point behind CAPTCHA!! It's a test to determine if a machine is trying to access a website or if its a human doing it. The machines will always fail this test because there's no way they can make out the text in the image.

No, you haven't understood. The whole purpose of captcha images is to ensure that it is a human that is viewing the image. They are specifically designed to make it impossible for any kind of automated tool to extract the data. So, not only is it as impossible as makes no difference, you also can't really have a good reason to be doing it - attempting to bypass security controls is a bad thing.

This article may help :- http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~mori/research/gimpy/[^] It probably won't help you break more advanced captchas though.

As Dave and Nish have said, CAPTCHAs are explicitly designed to defeat OCR. It may not be totally impossible, you're going to have to do a good amount of research to try and process them. Noone has written a CCaptchaOcrConverter class that you can just copy/paste into your application.
