I have some images which look like this one:
They exist of 4 possible characters (A-D) and a length of 4.
Now, I would like to run a neural network, which recognizes each character in the picture. Is this a multi-label (I think so) or a multi-class image recognition problem or something different? And how should I then handle the labels?
To solve the problem, I one hot encoded the label as follows:
encoded = my_onehot_encoded('ABAC')
print(encoded)
[[1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0]]
Is this correct? My objective is obviously not only that the neural network recognizes two As, one B and one C but also on the correct position.
Edit: Is this problem maybe a sequence labelling problem?
