VERIFIKASI DOKUMEN TRANSKRIP NILAI SEMESTER MENGGUNAKAN METODA OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION

Abstract

At the Ambon State Polytechnic, students' semester grade reports are still manually typed. This causes frequent typo errors which can result in the invalidity of the document, let alone incorrect grades, student identification numbers and many other label values. Here a java application has been implemented to detect these errors. This application is primarily intended for officials of the Head of Study Program, Head of the Department before signing and validating the report. Officials who legalize it will be greatly assisted because tedious validation work can be replaced by computers. The validation process is carried out by utilizing the optical character recognition technique from the open source library Tesseract-OCR. From the experimental results the verification process can be improved by using OCR  specific on specific regions of interest (ROI) after using template matching method from OpenCV. The consideration of the Levehnstein distance in the comparison of label values against the reference database also improves the success rate of the algorithm. The database used has been tested for about 800 grade report documents, with successful verification result above 90%.
