Bank Card and ID Card Number Recognition in Android Financial APP

In almost every financial management related Android application, users should input bank card and ID card number before transferring money between their financial accounts. In order to reduce user-input and improve user experience, a bank card and ID card number recognition method is proposed. The method consists of image preprocessing, numeral segmentation and numeral recognition. All the procedures are performed based on OpenCV and run on Android platform. Test results show that the correctness rate is 80% and its useful in practice.
