Abstract

See full text

Image analysis using visual geometry as an anchor for optical character recognition can be configured to receive an image acquired by a camera. The image is analyzed to detect a location within the image having a specified geometry. The specified geometry can be a predefined, visual geometry. The image is divided to create an image segment, where the image segment is based on the location of the specified geometry within the image. The image segment is analyzed to detect one or more characters within the image segment. The one or more characters in the image segment are decoded. A character string is generated based on decoding the one or more characters in the image segment.
