TEXT RECOGNITION AND 3D RENDERING USING OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION AND AUGMENTED REALITY

Abstract

Optical character recognition is a modern technique that allows text to be extracted from photographs or real-world objects. This application seeks to provide an AR based OCR system that makes use of the Fire- base database as a database. This research focuses on the application of AR and OCR for recognizing text and rendering 3D models. We leverage different technologies to develop an application that enables users to aim their device at any text they have written on various materials. Using optical character recognition, the application detects the handwritten text and, if a 3D model is stored in the database, it will render and show that model.
