Mobile Data Capture and Transmission (Conversion Part) Enhanced

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.
