What I Built

This is a handwritten digit recognition app where users draw Arabic numerals on an HTML canvas and click predict to identify them. The drawing is converted into a base64 image and sent via a POST request to a Flask backend. The backend preprocesses the image (grayscale conversion, thresholding, contour detection, noise filtering, dilation, and resizing) to match MNIST dataset format before passing it to a pre-trained ML model, which then predicts the digit(s).
