Optical Character Recognition Robot

Abstract

In this paper presents optical character recognition robot (OCR) which is capable of converting image into the computer process able format, in the form of plain text using Raspberry pi and a webcam server where we can live stream video over a local network. Our ultimate goal is to find and solve the different requirements in making a web controlled robot that recognizes and converts textual messages placed in real world to the computer readable text files. Our objective is to integrate the appropriate techniques to explain and prove that such capability, using limited hardware and software capabilities. The objective of our work is to provide an internet controlled mobile robot with the capability of reading characters in the image and gives out strings of characters. In the project we will use MOTION software, which is open source software with a number of configuration options which can be changed according to our needs. Here configurations are to be made so that it allows you to view from any computer on the local network for the control of robot in non-line of sight areas. INTRODUCTIONThe aim of our project is to make a robot which is capable of converting image into the computer processable format, in the form of plain text using raspberry pi and a webcam server where we can live stream video over a local network and based this we control remotely located robot. In this we will develop a system in which we wll interface a camera to raspberry pi by which will give the data of location through which we can control robot [5]. LITERATURE SURVEYWe have studied so many research papers on optical character reorganization. There are several ongoing researches on camera based document analysis which include text detection, extraction, recognition, enhancement and its uses few images to text and text reading systems models for assistive text reading for visually impaired and blind people is also present.
