The accuracy of existing machine learning models, software technologies, and computers are improved by using one or more machine learning models to map data inside structural elements, such as rows or columns, as found within a document to data objects of other documents, where the data objects are at least partially indicative of candidate categories that the data can belong to.

The invention relates to a method for OCR detection of valuable documents in a cash dispenser in the case of which an image of the valuable document is detected by means of a digital video or matrix camera. A Hough transformation is used to calculate edge lines of the valuable document and a rotation angle is calculated therefrom such that the edges of the valuable document are aligned with the image edges. The detected image is homogenized to compensate an inhomogeneous image background. This is followed by OCR detection of alphanumeric information on the valuable document.

An multifunction peripheral includes a font dictionary data configured to include an italic font and a non-italic font for each character code, a determination method selection unit that selects, from a plurality of italic determination methods that are used for italic determination for the character, the italic determination method that is associated with the character code that has been acquired, an italic determination unit that determines whether or not the character in the image data is italic using the italic determination method that has been selected by the determination method selection unit, and a font specifying unit that specifies a font of the character by checking the character that has been determined to be italic by the italic determination unit only with the italic font and checking the character that has been determined to be non-italic only with the non-italic font.

A method for image processing includes obtaining a mask of a stroke from an image and identifying a plurality of cross edges for the stroke based on the mask and a reference line. The plurality of cross edges includes a group of adjacent cross edges that intersect the reference line. The method further includes (a) calculating a first vector based on positions of at least two of the cross edges in the group, (b) expanding the group, based on the first vector, to include cross edges adjacent to the group that do not intersect the reference line, (c) calculating a second vector based on positions of at least two of the cross edges in the expanded group, and (d) expanding the expanded group, based on the second vector, to include a second group of adjacent cross edges nearby the expanded group that do not intersect the reference line.

The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and computer program products for generating a digital representation of a system from engineering documents of the system comprising one or more schematics and a components table. An example method can comprise (a) classifying, using a deep learning algorithm, (i) each of a plurality of symbols in the one or more schematics as a component and (ii) each group of related symbols as an assembly, (b) determining connections between the components and the assemblies, (c) associating a subset of the components and the assemblies with entries in the components table; and (d) generating the digital representation of the system from the components, the assemblies, the connections, and the associations. The digital representation of the system can comprise at least a digital model of the system and a machine-readable bill of materials.

A method for a device to perform region recognition is provided. The method includes: obtaining a position of a face region in an identification image; determining at least one information region based on the position of the face region; and segmenting the information region to obtain at least one character region.
