OCR Engine Platform

Home Products More ... OCR Engine Platform

OCR is used for translating images of typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner or camera) into machine-readable form with a standard encoding scheme. Different techniques for OCR have been developed and used under different application scenarios. Some of the applications include conversion of legacy documents to an e-format for document imaging systems, License Plate Reader System for capturing the license number of vehicles. And high speed OCR system for domain specific applications.

 

Optical Character Recognition

 

An innovative high speed OCR software engine, indigenously designed at KritiKal Solutions:-
  • Identifies & Authenticates Vehicles by capturing & recognizing vehicle’s number plate
  • Captures images of the driver at entry point
  • Transmits real-time stamp of entry/exit of the vehicle to the database
Solution is highly applicable for Access Control, Security and Surveillance, and Traffic management.


Capability

The OCR Engine is independent from font type and size to recognize and can read virtually every kind of printed text like:

  • Digits
  • Uppercase letters
  • Lowercase letters
  • Symbols


Features

It is able to recognize characters, words, text lines, paragraphs or full pages. It's able to split and recognize glued characters and to glue and recognize broken characters, too. To better the performance of OCR engine it pre-process the image with de-skewing and normalization techniques.

  • Accuracy: the OCR engine accuracy is 100% when the print and image quality are good. Even if the image quality is medium, the error rate is very low.
  • Input: Color, gray scale or bi tonal images with minimum 200 DPI resolution can be used as input. Better performances are obtained using gray scale image with 300 DPI resolutions since the OCR engine works natively in gray scale.
  • Output: the output includes the ASCII or UNICODE code, the confidence level,
  • Platform: the OCR Engine supports Linux and Windows platforms.
