Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for extracting to extract card information, comprising: identifying, by one or more computing devices, a first area of an image of a card received from a camera, the first area being selected as a potential location of one or more digits on the card in the image; performing, by the one or more computing devices, a linear transformation algorithm on data encompassed by the first area to achieve a reduced dimensionality; determining, by the one or more computing devices, if the first area encompasses a digit based at least in part on a confidence level of a result of the performing of the linear transformation algorithm; performing, by the one or more computing devices, a nonlinear transformation algorithm on the result of the linear transformation algorithm if the first area is determined to encompass a digit; and performing, by the one or more computing devices, a classification of a result of the performing of the nonlinear transformation algorithm.
