FIT ACM QR Code Registration

Registration system using webcam. This is a paperless registration system if everyone in the audience has a smartphone to display their QR/Barcode/Digital Matrix/etc for their registration.

What Is This

Normally, registration takes time in an event because everyone would have to write down their names. Using this project, the audience just flashes his/her ticket code to the webcam and he/she is registered.

This system scans for a QR/Barcode/Digital Matrix/etc using the webcam for registration. Registration is done by matching the scanned input to a name in the database. The Webcam Capture project for the utilization of the webcam and the ZXing library for decoding QR/Barcode/Digital Matrix/etc were used in this project.
