Methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and apparatus for decoding purchase data using an image

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that decode purchase data using an image. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to execute machine readable instructions to at least crop an image of a receipt based on detected regions of interest, apply a first mask to a first cropped image to generate first bounding boxes corresponding to rows of the receipt, apply a second mask to a second cropped image to generate second bounding boxes corresponding to columns of the receipt, generate a structure of the receipt by mapping words detected by an optical character recognition engine to corresponding first bounding boxes and second bounding boxes based on a mapping criterion, classify the second bounding boxes by identifying an expression of interest in ones of the second bounding boxes, and generate purchase information by extracting text of interest from the structured receipt based on the classifications.
