Patent Images
1. A method to be performed in conjunction with a processor operating in an electronic environment, comprising:
- parsing a plurality of pixels of an image;
identifying a property associated with a predetermined portion of the plurality of pixels;
determining whether each pixel of the plurality of pixels includes the property;
entering a predetermined value for each of the plurality of pixels in a matrix at a location corresponding to the pixel, wherein the predetermined value is based upon whether the pixel includes the property;
identifying text within the image, utilizing the matrix; and
determining whether the text includes unwanted data.
