About 7-segment LCD Display Reader APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This is an OCR reader based on OpenCV. It can be used for recognizing 7-segments digitals (one line) on LCD display, such as calculator and electric meter. Compared with normal image, the LCD screen has a lower contrast and special processing solution is quite necessary for successful recognition.I tested it under different lighting conditions and devices. The code can be checked out from following link and you can find more details in the comments.

NOTE: before running my apk, please install “OpenCV Manager” first. It can be found in Google Play.
1. Overview
The OCR process has three main steps:
1) Use edge detection algorithm to get the contours in the image.
2) Locate the digitals using vertical projection information.
3) Recognize the digitals based on their structure characteristics through a traversal method.
2. Details
2.1 Edge detection
I use Canny detection algorithm to get the contour information and the result looks very good.
2.2 Vertical projection
After getting the contours information, I scan vertically to get the vertical projection of the image in the “locating box”. The box is used to help locate digital area approximately (the user only need to put the digitals in the box when scanning). The projection value is actually the number of white points in vertical direction. Obviously, the projection value between two digitals is lower. Thus, based on the information, we can locate every digital.
2.3 Traversal method
After finding the positions of the digitals, we will traverse every digital from three different directions and then recognize them based the traversal results. See the example of digital “3” in the last figure. When we traverse the digital along line a, b and c, the number of passed segments should be 3, 1 and 1 respectively. Thus the recognition code of “3” is “311”. That is, for an unknown digital, if its code is “311”, it might be digital “3”.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
