Auto Scanner

The auto_scanner.py script provides an automated way to scan and recognize Panini sticker numbers using your webcam.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• OpenCV
• pytesseract
• Tesseract OCR engine installed on your system

See requirements.txt for all dependencies.

Setup

1. Install Tesseract OCR from https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki
2. Install Python dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Make sure the path to Tesseract executable in auto_scanner.py matches your installation

Usage

Run the scanner:

python auto_scanner.py

Controls:

• D - Detect a sticker number
• N - Accept current number and prepare for next (max 8)
• A - Add all captured numbers to your collection
• C - Clear captured numbers list
• Q - Quit

Workflow

1. Place a sticker in the red rectangle
2. Press D to detect the number
3. If the number is correct, press N to add it to the list
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for up to 8 stickers
5. Press A to add all captured numbers to your collection
6. The scanner will automatically handle duplicates

The scanner displays a processed image with the detected numbers and the list of captured stickers.
