Mobile Data Capture and Transmission(Conversion Part)Enhanced
Nafizah Abdul Talib · 2006
The Mobile Data Capture and Transmission (Conversion Part) project is about turning a mobile phone into a portable document scanner. Focus more on converting images captured by camera phone to personal computer using OCR engine. OCR is an acronym for Optical Character Recognition that functions to convert picture text image into editable wording character. Users then would be able to edit the texts converted afterward. The main objective of the project is to enhance the previous OCR program in term of functionality and effectiveness. Therefore, the project should be able to produce a program that is more reliable and errorless. Besides, the program will hopefully be able to perform pre-image processing before being past to the OCR engine for conversion. Thus, users can use any type of mobile camera to scan the images that required and not limited to merely 1.3 mega pixels and above. This final year project involves researches on optical character recognition (OCR) concept as it is known as the best way to do the conversion process and the implementation of image processing techniques in term of pattern recognition. The enhancement of the conversion part of this project is also involved directly with transmission part where it concentrates more on enhancing captured images. The spiral methodology is being used in the completeness of this project. In the end, the final product of this project may perhaps perform a better function than the previous one. Therefore it will absolutely give more help and benefits to various groups of people to reduce time needed to complete their works.
