The explosive growth of mobile technology is widely used for various opportunities in mobile media application development.

This project is to explore and evaluate various image recognition techniques to achieve high performance accuracy with shortest cost (execution time) on stamp image by experimenting the existing image recognition tools. This final year project is for mobile users to be able to identify different stamps of various countries by capturing the images of unknown stamps.
