Reading the name of the target with OCR #150

Closed RedFantom closed 6 years ago

RedFantom commented 7 years ago

By performing OCR on the name of the target in the targeting computer, it would be possible to determine the name of a target without the use of a server. A more advanced parsing feature like this seems like a better idea than a server, but I'm not sure whether the font used for the names is actually suitable for performing OCR.

This is only an idea, and I will investigate the possibility of performing OCR on that part of the targeting computer.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the font used, OCR cannot provide reliable results without a well trained, large and resource intensive engine.
