OCR low-res image from specified set of characters

Hello all:
Is there a way in which I provide the super set of characters (no characters to be expected outside the set) to the OCR. I mean to say for example if I know that my images has only [U, T, C, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, :, space] as the only characters, can I feed it to matlab OCR and thus expect better predictions.
Can this help somehow on low res image to increase the accuracy?
Kindly see the attached image I am struggling to get good results with.
Thanks much for your attention. Any thoughts will be immensely helpful.
Regards,
Amit

For something like that you can probably just crop out each character and find the area. Then, assuming each character has a unique area, have a look up table where a certain area means the character must be a certain character.

Right. Something like
measurements = regionprops(labeledImage, 'Area');
allAreas = [measurements.Area];
% Define character areas
characterAreas = [300,410,130,500,........] % Whatever they are.
for k = 1 : length(allAreas)
differences = abs(measurements(k).Area - characterAreas);
[~, closestCharacterIndex] = min(differences);
% Now you know what character it is....
end

This exact functionality is available in the ocr function. Use the 'CharacterSet' Name-Value pair to achieve this. Something like this:
ocrResults = ocr(yourImage,'CharacterSet','UTC1234567890')
In your case, you may have even more information that you can supply to the ocr function. If it's a valid assumption that the left half of the image only contains characters, you could have two calls to ocr with different ROI's.
For example (this is pseudo-code),
leftROI = [1 1 floor(size(im,2)/2) size(im,1)-1];
ocrLeftResults = ocr(im, leftROI, 'CharacterSet','UTC');
rightROI = [floor(size(im,2)/2)+1 1 floor(size(im,2)/2) size(im,1)-1];
ocrRightResults = ocr(im, rightROI, 'CharacterSet', '0123456789');
