Client Overview
A US based heavy machinery manufacturer.
Business Challenge
Client wants to develop a mobile based solution that could take pictures of metallic plates on their machinery, uses OCR to automatically detect and categorize information and sends them to cloud. The main challenge was the plates were metallic and not in very good condition for any regular OCR to run on them.
Acclivis Contribution
- Complete mobile application development.
- Pre-processing image module development.
- Customized image processing algorithm development for OCR on metallic plates.
- Database storage on cloud server (Microsoft Azure).
Product Features Developed/Supported by Acclivis
- The app is able to capture images of metallic tags and convert selected area
of image into text. - Selection on image can be made using touch functionality of the screen.
Moreover, image can be zoomed via the pinch-in-out method for more precise ROI selection. Alternatively, option of reselection is also available in case user
selected the wrong ROI. - The app also has the functionality to upload the recognized text along with a few other info related data (example: GPS location, image thumbnail, date/
timestamp etc) to the cloud over Wi-Fi or mobile data. - The app has an inbuilt image pre-processing module which enhances the quality of image before passing it to the OCR engine. The app can also recognize whether image is captured properly or not.
