Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying a template associated with an image, the method comprising: receiving a digital image, wherein a portion of the digital image depicts an entire first document including a plurality of bordered text sections comprising respective text values, and wherein at least one of the plurality of bordered text sections is adjacent to a text label; extracting the portion of the digital image depicting the entire first document; removing the text values from the plurality of bordered text sections in the extracted portion of the digital image, generating a scaled image by scaling the portion of the digital image from a first resolution to a second resolution, wherein the second resolution is less than the first resolution, and wherein the scaled image includes the plurality of bordered text sections and the text label, but does not include the text values; generating a first hash from the scaled image; comparing the first hash to a set of hashes, each hash of the set of hashes corresponding to a template of a set of templates, wherein each template of the set of templates is associated with data indicative of a size and location of one or more sections designated for text of a corresponding document; selecting a first template as corresponding to the first document based on the first hash best matching one of the hashes of the set of hashes that corresponds to the first template; extracting one or more sections of the portion of the digital image based on the selected first template comprising data indicative of a size and location of the one or more sections; and performing optical character recognition on the extracted one or more sections of the portion of the digital image.
