A simple application that can extract characters from a given image, let's say you have a book of just images, and you can't copy the data from it, this application will read the images and produce a text file for each.
the program relies on Matlab OCR tools for detecting the characters in the image, and produces a file to the given desctination, java is used to provide a more user friendly Interface for the user.
- Matlab: you need to install the computer vision toolbox (or generally the toolbox that ha OCR in it)
- JRE (Java runtime environment)
- the project only works on a single specified image, so it can't really solve the book problem above yet 😄, so the future work is simply to make it handle that part, to open a given folder, read all images in it and make a book out of it.
- May be you want to write the output to something other than .txt files like .docx or something, but we won't do that, you want it, do it yourself 😄.
