Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method for detecting and recognizing text in an image, the method comprising:

  • under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,obtaining an output image that differs from an input image in at least one visual aspect, the output image comprising one or more text regions;

    separately processing the input image to create at least one binary chip, each binary chip corresponding to a text region of the output image;

    generating first output by at least recognizing the text in each binary chip from the text region corresponding to the binary chip using an optical character recognizer;

    generating second output by at least separately and independently recognizing the text from the one or more text regions of the output image using the optical character recognizer; and

    analyzing at least the generated first output and the generated second output to form consensus output.
