Optical character recognition application using the IMAQ PCI 1411 acquisition board [articol]

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to propose a solution for extracting the information regarding the identity of a person from a Romanian Id card, to process that information, and to generate a bar code containing the CNP (Numerical Personal Code). This paper is intended to be a research on the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and image acquisition, but it is also the first step in the development of a useful product designed for front desk use. The application presented in this paper might be an important part for a more developed platform for University purpose, which would help the accounting department to extract the information from students IDs. The code bar generation would ease very much searching for students in the University databases.
