OCR for numbers with gray noisy background

First you must tweak those images. I recommend a batch tool like XnViewMP which is free and multiplatform.

It has a file explorer. Select all your images, then go to Tools - Batch convert. Add actions like I did:

XNViewMP - Batch convert - Actions tab

Here are my actions:

  1. HLS - make it grayscale:
    • Hue: 0
    • Lightness: 0
    • Saturation: -127
  2. Levels - lower black level a bit so that the gray noise will disappear
    • Black point: 0
    • White point: 212 - may vary depending on image
  3. Reduce noise filter
  4. Adjust for increasing the contrast
    • Brightness: 0
    • Contrast: 127 - this one matters
    • Gamma: 1.06
  5. Minimum for making the black thicker
    • Filter size: 5x5 - may vary depending on image

Don't forget to save as tiff (See Output tab). After that I run tesseract:

tesseract test.tif text -psm 7

Note I selected PSM mode 7: Treat the image as a single text line. If you have multiple lines you'll probably need to use mode 6 or 3.

And here are the contents of text.txt output file:

570 394 666 638 043

I tried to recognise your image with OCR technology by ABBYY: OCR SDK result
