pam-face-authentication

This is Pluggable Authentication Module for Face based Authentication.

tesseract-ocr

The Tesseract OCR engine was one of the top 3 engines in the 1995 UNLV Accuracy test. Between 1995 and 2006 it had little work done on it, but it is probably one of the most accurate open source OCR engines available. The source code will read a binary, grey or color image and output text. A tiff ... [More] reader is built in that will read uncompressed TIFF images, or libtiff can be added to read compressed images. [Less]

easystroke

easystroke is a gesture-recognition application for X11. It aims to be highly configurable while at the same time providing an intuitive user interface. It was designed primarily for use on a Tablet PC, but it also works well with a mouse.

OCRopus

OCRopus is a state-of-the-art document analysis and OCR system, featuring pluggable layout analysis, pluggable character recognition, statistical natural language modeling, and multi-lingual capabilities. The OCRopus engine is based on two research projects: a high-performance handwriting ... [More] recognizer developed in the mid-90s and deployed by the US Census bureau, and novel high-performance layout analysis methods. OCRopus development is sponsored by Google and is initially intended for high-throughput, high-volume document conversion efforts. We expect that it will also be an excellent OCR system for many other applications. [Less]

CellWriter

CellWriter is a grid-entry natural handwriting input panel. As you write characters into the cells, your writing is instantly recognized at the character level. When you press Enter on the panel, the input you entered is sent to the currently focused application as if typed on the keyboard. More information: http://risujin.org/cellwriter/

Cuneiform Linux

Cuneiform is an OCR system originally developed and open sourced by Cognitive technologies. This project aims to create a fully portable version of Cuneiform.

myopen

OPP is seeking to encourage experimentation with myoelectric control in order to inspire more rapid development of mechatronic prostheses for amputees. Because of the extremely small market size for upper extremity prosthetics, we think that one way to encourage this activity is to develop toys or ... [More] user customizable devices that are capable of myoelectric signal processing. With wider access and experimentation with the technology, perhaps we could see interesting developments beyond the traditional venues of corporate R&D and educational institution research. Along with a couple of collaborators (and we'd love to have more), we are exploring the development of an extremely flexible open hardware module that could be used with the Buglabs device, the LEGO NXT platform, and as a USB device that could be used with the OLPC (laptop.org), and traditional linux and windows computers. The components of the device would be modular, so we could populate them as needed, and use the same design for a variety of applications. The USB interface could also be used for connecting to game consoles, such as the Xbox360 and Playstation 3; the I2C bus may be useful for connecting to the Nintendo Wii via the Nunchuck input.

OCRFeeder

OCRFeederOCRFeeder is a document layout analysis and optical character recognition system. Given the images it will automatically outline its contents, distinguish between what's graphics and text and perform OCR over the latter. It generates multiple formats being its main one ODT. It ... [More] features a complete GTK graphical user interface that allows the users to correct any unrecognized characters, defined or correct bounding boxes, set paragraph styles, clean the input images, import PDFs, save and load the project, export everything to multiple formats, etc. OCRFeeder was developed as the project of the Master's Thesis in Computer Science of Joaquim Rocha.
