Automatic acquisition of values from measurement devices without communication interface
Dohnálek, Martin ; Čala, Martin (referee) ; Kunz, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the matter of optical character recognition from displays of measurement devices without communication interface. This would allow carrying out automated experiments using cheaper or older gear, which is not endowed with means for direct connection to a computer. Input image necessary for the character recognition is acquired using a camera pointed at a display of the device. The recognition is afterwards performed on periodically captured image based on an already existing dataset for particular apparatus. The output of the algorithm is a file containing recognized values, units, and timestamps of the recognition. The tool for creating datasets was designed as well. The achieved speed of recognition (as fast as 34 ms per iteration) during practical testing confirmed the sufficient optimalization of OCR algorithm. On the other hand, the determined hit rate of recognition abiding specified conditions was nearly 100 %. Lastly, the resistance to misalignment of display and sensor plane was monitored. The OCR algorithm is resilient to horizontal tilt up to +/- 5° and vertical tilt up to +/- 20°.
