Patent ID: 11410446

Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for receipt decoding. An example apparatus for processing a receipt associated with a user disclosed herein includes an optical character recognition engine to generate bounding boxes, respective ones of the bounding boxes associated with groups of characters detected in the receipt, the bounding boxes including a first bounding box, a second bounding box and a third bounding box, a word connector to connect the first bounding box to the second bounding box based on (1) an adjacency of the first bounding box to the second bounding box and (2) a difference value from a comparison of a location of the first bounding box to a location of the second bounding box, a line connector to form a line of the ones of the bounding boxes by connecting the third bounding box to the second bounding based on a relationship between the first bounding box and the second bounding box, the line of the ones of the bounding boxes indicative of related receipt fields, and a creditor to generate a report based on the line.
