implemented in this problem. OCR can recognize an image and immediately recognized as input
which can then be used as computer data and directly calculated. The Sobel Edge Detection
method has the advantage of reducing noise before performing edge detection calculations. The
results of testing the system directly using an application program that has been created because
it allows software developers to create a set of input conditions that will train all the functional
