  • Publication number: 20220319143
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for using a local neighborhood for determining similar targets in different documents or using implicit coordinates for obtaining a coordinate location of a target. The local neighborhood method may include identifying a first target in a first document; identifying one or more first elements within a first distance range from the first target; creating a first local neighborhood based on the identifying; determining that that first local neighborhood is similar to a third local neighborhood in a second document; and determining a second target in the second document that corresponds to the first target in the first document, based on the determining the similarity. The implicit coordinates method may include performing OCR on the first document to find the first target; and obtaining a first location of the first target by using at least one of OCR or element recognition.

  • Patent number: 11232300
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically verifying optical character recognition (OCR) detected text of a native electronic document having an image layer comprising a matrix of pixels and a text layer comprising a sequence of characters. The method includes determining a location of OCR-detected text in the text layer of the native electronic document based on a pixel-based coordinate location of the OCR-detected text in the image layer of the native electronic document. The method also includes applying the location of the OCR-detected text to the text layer of the native electronic document to detect text in the text layer corresponding to the OCR-detected text. The method also includes rendering only the detected text in the text layer as an output when the OCR-detected text does not match the detected text in the text layer, to improve accuracy of the output text.

  • Patent number: 10489644
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically verifying text of a native digital document having an image layer and a text layer. The text is detected by optical character recognition (OCR) of the image layer, and is compared to text at a corresponding location in the text layer. Normalization processing is performed on both the detected image-layer text and the text-layer text. When the image-layer text and the text-layer text do not match, the text-layer text may be used or an icon indicating that the image-layer text and the text-layer text do not match is rendered and displayed.

  • Patent number: 10489645
    Abstract: Methods for automatically verifying text detected by optical character recognition (OCR). The method includes obtaining a native digital document having an image layer comprising a matrix of computer-renderable pixels and a text layer comprising computer-readable encodings of a sequence of characters. The method includes obtaining OCR-detected text from the image layer of the native digital document and a pixel-based coordinate location of the OCR-detected text in the image layer of the native digital document. The method includes determining, using a pixel transformation, a computer-interpretable location of the OCR-detected text in the text layer of the native digital document. The method includes detecting text in the text layer based on the computer-interpretable location of the OCR-detected text in the text layer. The method includes rendering only the detected text in the text layer when the OCR-detected text does not match the detected text in the text layer.
