Claim 22:
23. A system for detecting text of interest, the system comprising:
at least one camera configured to capture one or more digital images of a scene including an object of interest, the object of interest having vertically oriented text of interest; and
a first control circuit coupled to the at least one camera and configured to execute a machine learning model stored in a memory to automatically detect the vertically oriented text of interest in the captured one or more digital images of the scene,
wherein the machine learning model is trained, using a second control circuit, to automatically detect occurrences of vertically oriented text of interest on the object of interest depicted in captured one or more digital images with inputs comprising:
a first data set comprising a plurality of captured digital images each depicting a representative object of interest; and
a second data set comprising a plurality of augmented digital images each depicting a captured digital image augmented with a synthetic text image comprising a randomly generated text on a randomly selected background image.
