Aplicación web para la gestión de pagos de servicios proporcionados por las unidades de producción de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato utilizando procesamiento de imágenes para la validación de datos

Abstract

The Unidades de Producción of the Universidad Técnica de Ambato are self-managed entities that generate income through the offering of products and services, representing a significant benefit for the university. However, they face challenges in information management and lack a means to share information with the finance department, responsible for receiving payments, for visualization and verification. This poses a problem when completing the process of delivering products and services. The current project proposes the implementation of a web application to establish an online process for acquiring and processing payments for services and products. This allows users to attach and verify information related to their respective processes. Additionally, the project aims to expedite the registration and validation of data through optical character recognition (OCR) and image processing. The current project proposes the implementation of a web application to establish an The web application is divided into two main components: backend and frontend. In the backend, Python with FastAPI is used to develop the Application Programming Interface (API), integrating OCR with Pytesseract and OpenCV. Additionally, PostgreSQL is employed as the database, and MinIO is used for managing images and files. In the frontend, React and additional libraries are utilized. In conclusion, the result is a web application that minimizes the drawbacks of the current process and, additionally, eliminates the need for physical documentation, thereby avoiding potential information losses that could delay the completion of the process.
