Computer Vision Applications: Home, Office and Industry

Computer vision applications are present in our daily activities. In this paper, we feature three applications of computer vision, running in residential, office and industrial environments, respectively. Optical character recognition is a well-known task that can save lots of time when processing handwritten information. OCRFORMSv2 is a complete software system aimed at helping people in the task of extracting data from structured documents. ITICAB+ is a biometric access control system based on face recognition. The overall architecture has been designed as a distributed system. The system´s backbone is a network of biometric service providers, while the interface is composed of embedded devices that perform the access control tasks. Industrial applications play an increasingly important role in manufacturing. We present an innovative complete system for scanning and inspecting 3D objects. I3D is a real-time 3D scanning system. Its design is based on single-shot multi-camera acquisition.
