Solution for Problem Statement 1 for AIDL 2020 conducted by @unifynd technologies.

Problem

Given images of bills/invoices, the task was to perform the following 3 operations:

• Edge detection, cropping, flattening, enhancement of cropped image and compression.
• Extracting text from the processed image.
• The confidence score for the image to text conversion.

Development

1. Make sure you have react-native cli & the latest Android SDK installed on your system. To get started with React Native, follow here

2. To install OpenCV for Android, see here

3. Clone the github repository and install the dependencies using npm

$ git clone https://github.com/burhanuday/codesquad-PS1
$ cd codesquad-PS1
$ npm install

4. Move the modified versions of the libraries from the modified_open_source_libs to the node_modules folder. Replace in destination when asked

5. Run development build (Android SDK and adb tools are required to be installed)

$ npx react-native run-android --no-jetifier
$ npx react-native run-ios

4. Run the flask server from the flask-server folder

$ python app.py

For Mac

1. Follow the instructions mentioned on Getting Started on React Native documentation

2. Download the project zip from here

3. Edit the sdk.dir statement with the SDK path in the <extracted-folder>/android/local.properties file, for your machine.

4. If getting this error Could not compile settings file 'android\settings.gradle. First run /usr/libexec/java_home -V which will output something like the following:

Matching Java Virtual Machines (2):
    13.0.1, x86_64:	"Java SE 13.0.1"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_242, x86_64:	"AdoptOpenJDK 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home

Pick the version you want to be the default (1.8.0_242 the version of AdoptOpenJDK 8) then:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0_242`

5. Run the app with npx react-native run-android --no-jetifier

Build

1. Create and then copy a keystore file to android/app

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore mykeystore.keystore -alias mykeyalias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

2. Setup your gradle variables in android/gradle.properties

MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE=mykeystore.keystore
MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=mykeyalias
MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=*****
MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=*****

3. Add signing config to android/app/build.gradle

android {
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file(MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_FILE)
storePassword MYAPP_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
keyAlias MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS
keyPassword MYAPP_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
}
}

4. Setup your gradle variables in android/gradle.properties

cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease

Your APK will get generated at: android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk
