A Comprehensive MATLAB based Optical Mark Reader and Database Generation System for the Windows Operating System

Abstract

The importance of software systems in business cannot be overstated. Often, there are numerous processes involved in developing software solutions, including problem definition, solution design, building, testing, and maintenance. The objective of this study is to propose an optical mark reader (OMR) that is practical, affordable, and compatible with Windows. The OMR can be used to process data in polling places, schools, elections, and other comparable places. It was created especially for grading multiple-choice tests. It may be easily integrated with a multipurpose printer and comes with an updated tool for image scanning and reading. The article also provides a database that generates thorough reports and was built in a soft environment. The paper uses an aptitude test grading system for a university to show how well the system works, and the database successfully creates a detailed report of the
student’s data and final results. The system was created utilizing state-of-the-art software, including MATLAB and SQL server.
