Abstract

This paper presents the development of the smart device mobile application “Book’s Recognition”. The app recognizes the text of library book titles at the library of the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Through a service stored in Amazon Web Service (AWS), Mobil Vision’s algorithms for text recognition, and Google’s API on the Android platform, the app “Book’s Recognition” allows its user to recognize the text of the title of a physical book in an innovative and effective way, showing the user basic information about the book in real time. The application can be offered as a service of the library. The purpose of this development is to awaken university student’s interest about new and creative forms of intelligent investigation with resources from the university’s main library, and furthermore to facilitate the investigative process by providing information on non-digitalized, and digitalized, books that hold valuable and relevant information for all generations. The mobile app can be downloaded the following website: https://github.com/seimus96/mobile_vision.
