This technical report tackles the problem of automatically
		  recognizing the information encoded into a physical key
		  (key code) from a photo taken with a mobile device camera,
		  so that a reproduction (clone) can be be created from it.
		  Conceptually, a person takes (a) photo(s) from a key using
		  a mobile device camera. The key code is derived from these
		  photos using computer vision techniques and can further be
		  used by key manufacturers to clone the key – without
		  requiring physical access to the key sample.<br>
