Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods for performing OCR of an image depicting text symbols and imaging a document having a plurality of planar regions are disclosed. An example method comprises: receiving a first image of a document having a plurality of planar regions and one or more second images of the document; identifying a plurality of coordinate transformations corresponding to each of the planar regions of the first image of the document; identifying, using the plurality of coordinate transformations, a cluster of symbol sequences of the text in the first image and in the one or more second images; and producing a resulting OCR text comprising a median symbol sequence for the cluster of symbol sequences.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a processing device, a first image of a document having a plurality of planar regions, wherein at least two planar regions of the plurality of planar regions are mutually non-coplanar; performing optical character recognition (OCR) of the first image to determine an OCR text in the first image; obtaining a text in one or more second images of the document; identifying a plurality of base points in the first image;…
