  • Patent number: 12288405
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for text extraction from a receipt image. An example non-transitory computer readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least improve region of interest detection efficiency by converting pixels of an input receipt image from a first format to a second format, generate a binary representation of the input receipt image based on the converted pixels, the binary representation of the input receipt image corresponding to saturation values for respective ones of the converted pixels, calculate mirror data from the binary representation of the input receipt image, and cluster the binary representation of the input receipt image to identify a first set of candidate regions of interest, the candidate regions of interest characterized by portions of the binary representation of the input receipt image having saturation values that satisfy a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230245486
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve tagging accuracy. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the machine readable instructions to at least search a first row of a document to identify a first row that includes a first type of entity, search the first row of the document to identify a second type of entity that is missing, search the first row of the document to identify a first integer value, and associate the first row with a product corresponding to the first integer value.
