gimp for image processing on scanned sheet music

Hi everybody,
If I were to use gimp for image recognition on scanned music notation which part of the gimp code should I read? and what books should I read about image recognition? I am newbie to gimp source code hacking and image recogonition. I know c and I believe I can understand the image formats. Can anyone advise me on this, regarding the efforts and overhead in doing it. I expect answers from image recognition/processing gurus who wrote gimp. Is there anyother better place to ask this question if this is a wrong forum? please! excuse me for my ignorance in this subject, if the question is too dumb.

with regards senthil kumar

You should probably first look at existing Open Source OCR software and then learn how to create plug-ins for GIMP that use this software, if possible. See http://developer.gimp.org for the later.

I don't think there's any GIMP code that needs to be read or that would be particulary helpful here. Such functionality would be implemented as a plug-in. The GIMP plug-in API will give you access to the pixel data; you are on your own then.
