Part II: OCR Module"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deep-learning OCR (Optical Character Recognition) module<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this installment of blog series, we will continue with the introduction of PEKAT VISION modules as they were presented at the Vision trade fair this autumn. Today we will briefly look at the Optical Character Recognition module, here used in conjunction with a 3D scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our OCR module&nbsp;<strong>recognizes and reads \u2013 extracts &#8211; alphanumerical and other characters, symbols, or string of text from a variety of surfaces<\/strong>. It works well with images from a&nbsp;<strong>3D scanner<\/strong>&nbsp;as well as images from standard industrial&nbsp;<strong>2D cameras<\/strong>. The selection of a particular hardware is dependent on the nature of both, the characters as well as the background. In other words, using the correct hardware, PEKAT VISION can extract and read flat or embossed characters from a wide variety of materials even when these characters are barely visible with the human eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It is often used in packaging inspection across industries, in the electronics and automotive industries to read stamped part numbers, serial numbers, batch information, or DOT and manufacturer identification number on a tire sidewall for tracking and verification purposes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last example served us as an inspiration for our next product demo. Using conventional 2D images to read molded characters is often difficult due to the low contrast between the read characters and the background, as is the case of a tire. 3D imaging is therefore a better choice. However, it is not without its own challenges. For example, rubber absorbs a large part of the emitted laser light, making higher demands on the 3D scanner used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, we opted for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.photoneo.com\/phoxi-3d-scanner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>PhoXi 3D Scanner<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;from our long-time partner Photoneo. PhoXi 3D scanner is ideal for scanning rough surface objects such as wood and rubber, objects with matte finish, such as sandblasted aluminum, cast iron, or molded un-polished plastic materials. Using PEKAT VISION with PhoXi 3D Scanner we achieved 100% correct reading of even the smallest characters on the tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-1024x561.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-1024x561.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-450x246.jpg 450w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-640x350.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-116x64.jpg 116w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-360x197.jpg 360w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-219x120.jpg 219w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-108x59.jpg 108w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-300x164@2x.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-450x246@2x.jpg 900w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-116x64@2x.jpg 232w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-360x197@2x.jpg 720w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-219x120@2x.jpg 438w, https:\/\/pekatvision.matosoft.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/web-OCR-108x59@2x.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch a video on how to easily connect Photoneo 3D PhoXi scanner and PEKAT VISION on our YouTube channel&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BTazgxHhj6s\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OCR module is often&nbsp;<strong>complemented with our deep-learning OCV module&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 optical character verification module &#8211; and can be used for identifying products past \u201e<em>best before\u201c&nbsp;<\/em>or \u201e<em>use by<\/em>\u201c dates, product sorting, tracking and much more.
