Open Source Windows OCR Software

The idea is to enhance and develop the national border crossing process by the integration of automated vehicle recognition while crossing country borders. i'm going to use Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR): a system that recognizes the numbers of the vehicle plates by using OCR (optical character recognition) technology and Infrared cameras. This is going to be achieved by taking the license plate image from the camera and processing it using the software I’m going to develop together with an open source OCR system. The output is going to be a text version of the plate number. Then it is going to retrieve that number from a database and get the information of the vehicle owner. Note: Please note that you need emgucv installed. you also need to move the project files to: C:\Emgu\emgucv-windows-x86XXX\Emgu.CV.Example\ Please note: that the project was created using visual studio 2003, on windows xp. and it might not run fluently on newer versions. please try to update it.

The purpose of this program is to take metadata and full text OCR from ContentDM and export into a database for use in other applications. The application is setup to generate a JPG derivative from either a TIF or JP2 associated with an object.
