ABSTRACT

This demo introduces a tool for accessing an e-document by capturing one or more images of a real object or document hardcopy. This tool is useful when a file name or location of the file is unknown or unclear. It can save field workers and office workers from remembering/exploring numerous directories and file names. Frequently, it can convert tedious keyboard typing in a search box to a simple camera click. Additionally, when a remote collaborator cannot clearly see an object or a document hardcopy through remote collaboration cameras, this tool can be used to automatically retrieve and send the original e-document to a remote screen or printer.
