Simple scanner for mtg. Mostly a project to get better with python and opencv while providing a way to keep track of my MTG collection.

• python2
• opencv
• libphash
• phash python bindings
• imagemagick

1. Run mtg-scanner --update to grab the images from the gatherer and calculate hashes
2. Run mtg-scanner --scan to open the camera and start scanning
3. Run mtg-scanner --export to export a list of cards in your collection

• --debug - Enable debugging when scanning
• --camera <integer> - Specify a camera ID to use for scanning
• --database <DB> - Specify a database name to use when scanning and exporting

The stand-by screen has a blue border around it. From the stand-by screen, press Enter to isolate the card. If the framing is good, then press enter again to attempt to match. If the framing is not good, then you can press ESC or Backspace to go back to the stand-by screen.

Once a match has been found it will display the matched card on the screen. Press Enter to add the card to your collection. If the card is a foil you can press F instead of Enter to add the card to your collection and mark it as a foil. If the card displayed is not the desired card, press N to try again. You can also press ESC to go back to the stand-by screen.

If you have multiple copies you want to add, after adding the first card you can press the + key on the numpad to bring up the confirmation prompt again. As before you can press Enter to add the card, F to add a foil, or ESC or Backspace to go back to the stand-by screen. You can press P instead of enter when adding a card to add a playset of that card instead (adds 4 copies at once).

Press Q at any time to quit.

I originally wrote the scanning system for python 2. After everything was fully functional I tried to upgrade everything to python 3, but the opencv library that is required for the scanning process does not support python 3. As such, until opencv supports python 3, this code will stay on python 2.
