Abstract

A system and method for capturing image data is disclosed. A receipt image processing service selects from a repository a template that guides data capture of receipt data from a receipt image and presents the template to a user on an image capture device. A user previews the receipt image and the selected template. If the user decides that the template does not correctly indicate locations of data areas for data items in the receipt image, then the user either updates an existing template or creates a new template that correctly indicates the location of selected data areas in the receipt image. The selected template, the updated template, or the new template is then used to extract receipt data from the receipt image. The receipt data and receipt image data are then provided to the expense report system.

receiving receipt image data from an image capture device, the receipt image data having a particular layout of data items;
processing the receipt image data received from the image capture device to determine locations of the data items in the particular layout;
for each respective image template…
