OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is machine vision software that translates images of characters into text. To identify characters in an image, the LabVIEW software needs to be trained to identify each character. A data set of trained characters is created and saved as a character set file in advance. The set of trained characters are compared with character objects in an image for recognition.
The example of OCR provided in LabVIEW can be found from the following folders:
Figure 11.1 shows the screen-captured image of the example OCR.vi. In this example, characters in the image are recognized and converted into a character string.
Some industrial applications of OCR for machine vision include inspecting labels, sorting, tracking packages, and verifying parts during manufacturing process.
