    Application will highlight any user given search key on an image of a text document. User enters a search parameter to begin the process. Application will acquire an image from the phone camera.

    WORD SPOTTING ON PRINTED MATERIAL

    INITIAL IDEA
    We plan to develop an android application which can highlight any user given search key on an image of a text document.

    Similar to using CTRL + F (Search and Find) function

    We aim to make the application compatible for all varieties of fonts and text sizes.

    HOW IT WORKS
    User enters a search Parameter to begin the process. The application will acquire an image from the phone camera. The application determines size, font and spacing from this image. Then it will use image processing and recognition techniques to match the search key with the printed words. Once it locates the search parameter we will be using augmented reality to highlight the matched words.

    WHY NOT OCR? (Optical Character Recognition)


    OCR is expensive. Correcting OCR errors is time consuming.

    PROPOSED SOFTWARE & LANGUAGES


    Java - As the programming Language on front end

    PHP - To transfer the image between server and mobile

    MATLAB - To run the algorithm in the back end OPEN CV to convert to pixels
