INTRODUCTION
People have always tried to develop machines which could do the work of a human being. The reason is obvious since for most of history, man has been very successful in using the machines developed to reduce the amount of physical labor needed to do many tasks. With the advent of the computer, it became a possibility that machines could also reduce the amount of mental labor needed for many tasks. Over the past fifty or so years, with the development of computers ranging from ones capable of becoming the world chess champion to ones capable of understanding speech, it has come to seem as though there is no human mental faculty which is beyond the ability of machines. Today , many researchers have developed algorithms to recognize printed characters. But the problem of interchanging data between human beings and computing machines is a challenging one. In reality, it is verydifficult to achieve 100% accuracy.
EXISTING SYSTEM
There are several online application character extraction, also recently google also launched an android app that takes the contact no. from visiting card. But our project is aimed yet offline extraction of contents from visiting card. using Mat Lab also there are some projects which extracts character and stores as a text file.
Google goggles, card munch and abbyy’s app are some of the example of mobile based app that extracts the information from visiting card.
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
TECHNOLOGY USED:
Mat Lab: MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. Mat Lab is used from image acquisition phase to storing the content in database.
MySQL: MySQL is a relational database management system available under GNU license. MySQL is used as the back end database for storing the contents.
CONCLUSION
Automated generation of visiting card database can extract the contents of visiting card and store it for future use. Faster retrieval and sharing of the contact information. No need to maintain huge amount of paper since in formations are digitally stored, also space required to store the contents are less.
But extraction of character from card always not possibl. Reason for this may be different font style, noise in image acquisition step etc.
