OmrEngine Class
Summary
Provides a high level OMR forms functionality to create forms objects and process forms fields.
Syntax
public:
ref class OmrEngine
Example
OMR Example Workflow
The following example is a snippet of a larger example that demonstrates a basic workflow using LEADTOOLS OMR:
1. Create and initialize a new OmrEngine
2. Load the RasterImage
3. Create an ITemplateForm object from the rasterimage
4. Create a few zones and add them to the template
5. Save the template to a file on disk
6. Apply OMR to the answer key
7. Apply OMR to the individual forms
8. Analyze the documents and print the results
9. Shut down the OcrEngine associated with this OmrEngine
You can also download the complete example in Visual Studio 2017.
