This paper describes the implementation of an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system using embedded DSP hardware and software platforms. The system utilizes an area-scan camera and the HALCON image processing library running upon the Strampe VisionBox hardware platform programmed through the Code Composer Studio IDE. This prototype system can be modified for several potential applications such as sorting of packed food based on expiry date.
