Image Processing Based OCR Automation For Reading Tare Weight On Cylinders
The challenge

What needed solving

Inaccuracy in recording the tare weight and batch code painted on the gas cylinder’s body, due to a huge variety of cylinders(as per their capacities)

A few times caps were being missed to inspect for their presence/absence. Only the cylinders, without the notch caps, are supposed to be sent to filling stations
