OCR

OCR stands for "Optical Character Recognition" and means the automatic text recognition using a respective algorithm on an image (originating from a camera, for example).

UBIK^® clients are capable of OCR for the sake of identifying objects ().

Preconditions

• On Android devices, the UBIK^® OCR app has to be installed.
• UBIK^® objects to be found by OCR tag have to be classified as such, using the Object with OCR Text Classification.
• The object to be found has to be available on the device, since online search currently is not enabled for this feature.

Usage

UBIK^® Android

In the Demo app, the navigation drawer provides a "Scanning" element, which has a sub-item "OCR". When clicking it, an OCR scanner is started. When a tag was recognized successfully, the scanner closes automatically and the result is shown in a result list. If the scanner doesn't find anything, a click on the screen closes it (without showing results).
