Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to wearable/mobile computing devices and computer software configured to perform image processing, including transformation of images of characters into data representing characters. More specifically, disclosed are wearable systems, platforms and methods directed to, for example, health and wellness, for identifying character data, such as text, from captured image data, including but not limited to the identification of nutrition-related information captured as an image. In various embodiments, a method can include receiving an image that includes characters, and identifying a sub-image of a group of characters. Adaptations of the sub-image can be generated to form an adapted sub-image. The method includes transforming data that can be classified by subsets of character data. A converted group of characters can be formed based on at least the classified subsets. The method can also include coupling a plurality of the converted group of characters.
