Running Projects

Each project is self-contained with its own README and source code:

# Navigate to a project
cd projects/01_document_scanner

# Read the README for setup instructions
cat README.md

# Run the project
python main.py

Project Structure

Each project folder contains:

projects/
├── 01_document_scanner/
│   ├── README.md          # Project documentation
│   ├── main.py            # Main application
│   ├── utils/             # Helper functions
│   └── samples/           # Sample images
├── 02_face_attendance/
│   └── ...
└── ...
