Automatic Reading Machine

We were able to adjust the camera's focus by rotating the lens of the module using a needle nose plier, as mentioned in this tutorial.

The NoIR camera seems to be out of focus as one can see in the picture below:

Text in the monitor, which should be the background of the image, can be easily read, while the text of the book in the centre cannot. 

We are currently trying to find a way to autofocus the camera via software (maybe OpenCV can do that, not sure)

Build instructions have been added regarding image acquisiion, pre processing via OpenCV and OCR itself via Tesseract Python lib. Thanks to @João Canavarro :)
