The application mainly deals with two types of cards; Engineering ASU student cards and Metro Students cards. Then after scanning the card, it extracts information about the card's holder using the code on the card.
The Engineering ASU card inspection could prove useful for:
- The security at the gates of campus
- TAs or professors who need quick access to a student's info when they only have their ID card at hand
The metro card inspection could prove useful for:
- The security if they wish to inspect a certain student and know from which university he/she is from
- Students themselves if they wish to know how many trips left they have in their subscription.
- Choose a photo of the card (The photo is acquired either using the mobile's built-in camera or simply chosen from gallery)
- Process this photo by applying several image processing techniques to "scan" it
- Run a face detector classifier to detect the face on the card
- Run an OCR to detect the student's code on the card
- Inspect the card by searching for the recognized student code present on the card in the JSON file containing students information ((parseJSON.java) --> JSON files)
- A mobile app that runs on Android, the minimum Android version supported is Lollipop 5.0 (API 21)
- OpenCV in Java for implementing the image processing methods in the (ImgProcPipeline.java)
- tess-two (Tesseract Android Library) for OCR (tessOCR.java)

PS. The OpenCV and tess-two library folders that were used in the app weren't added because they're too large and irrelevant to the grading process. We only included the Java and XML layout files as they contain all the work done.
