%% This program takes a single image assuming it having multiple line

%% of characters and extracts lines of characters one by one and stores
%% them as seperate images in a .\Horizontal_Segmented_Images directory alsocounting
%% total no. of lines.
%% Then
%% it takes each line from .\Horizontal_Segmented_Images directory and extracts characters
%% and now stores each character in a image file in subdirectory
%% corresponding to that line.
%% i.e. total no. of subdirectories= no. of lines in source file.
