An Application Development for Student ID Image Capturing, Payap University from Web Camera by using Processing

Abstract

The Registration and Educational Service Office, Payap University, has a unit to take a responsibility for student ID photographing. This is one of the information of student profile that has to be stored in student records. The development team was assigned to develop an application to do this task and replace the original program that was unable to work when changing the operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The developer team choose Processing version 4.0 beta 7 to be the main tool for this development and operated under a rapid application development (RAD) process. The operation of the application consists of 5 steps: 1) web camera connecting, 2) image capturing, 3) image boundary definition, 4) cropping and 5) image saving. The output image will be stored in JPEG format according to the size specified by the Registration and Educational Service Office. The application can work with the existing OKER B20 480P web camera, under the Windows 10 operating system and work exactly as the user defined. The user assessment in terms of application performance was in very good level ( = 4.67 S.D. = 0.33).
