Business Card Reader

Link: github.com/agundy/BusinessCardReader

For a final project for my Introduction to Computer Vision class I worked on a contact information extracter with a partner. We built a web app that you could upload an image to and our code would find the business card in the image, crop to the card and then process the card looking for regions of interests. Those regions of interest were then fed through the OCR engine Tesseract and then the returned text was proccessed and returned in a user friendly manner for tagging contact info.

For this project I built the web site backend in Flask with a RQ job queue. Image processing was done with OpenCV and then the results were fed through Tesseract. This project was a lot of fun and I learned a lot of diverse technologies bringing it together.
