Methods of OCR/BCR Processing for Data Capture






⦁ OCR with Generic Text Parsing process is used to extract meaningful information from text returned from OCR. In this case any returned text is programmatically “searched” for expected data elements.
Example:
⦁ Find the text label “DOB:”
⦁ Find data type MM/DD/YYYY next to label
⦁ Conclude finding field type DOB
This search can be done without placement information, i.e. on the whole document, which makes this approach format-independent. Redundant search can be used to improve data finding in less-than-perfect scenarios, such as when DOB label could not be recognized because of OCR errors or heavy background, yet the date in format MM/DD/YYYY where the year starts with “19xx” (to filter out other dates such as expiration date or issue date) can still be found successfully.

Example:
⦁ Find the markings to detect “California Driver License”, i.e. Classify the document and apply appropriate layout template
⦁ Find the text label “DOB:” on the 3rd line and left side of ID
⦁ Find data type MM/DD/YYYY next to label1, below another label0, and above another label2
⦁ Conclude finding field type DOB
This search is done with placement information, i.e. in specific areas, which makes this approach more accurate. But this approach requires creation and management of layout templates.
