Abstract

Methods and apparatus to determine the dimensions of a region of interest of a target object and a class of the target object from an image using target object landmarks are disclosed herein. An example method includes identifying a landmark of a target object in an image based on a match between the landmark and a template landmark; classifying a target object based on the identified landmark; projecting dimensions of the template landmark based on a location of the landmark in the image; and determining a region of interest based on the projected dimensions, the region of interest corresponding to text printed on the target object.
