Character count determination for a digital image
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- in an electronic device comprising a memory for holding document image data and processor in communication with the memory, the processor;
receiving a financial document image;
identifying a text chunk in the financial document image by;
determining a first pixel of the financial document image as top left pixel of the text chunk based on a top left score of the first pixel; and
determining a second pixel of the financial document image as top right pixel of the text chunk based on a top right score of the second pixel; and
determining a character count for the text chunk without recognizing any particular character in the text chunk.

Abstract
An image processing system or electronic device may implement processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may receive an image, such as financial document image. The processing circuitry may determine a character count for the financial document image or particular portions of the financial document image without recognizing any particular character in the financial document image. In that regard, the processing circuitry may determine a top left score for pixels in the financial document, the top left score indicating or representing a likelihood that a particular pixel corresponds to a top left corner of a text character. The processing circuitry may also determine top right score for image pixels. Then, the processing circuitry may identify one or more text chunks using the top left and top rights scores for pixels in the financial document image. The processing circuitry may determine a character count for the identified text chunks.

1. A method comprising:
in an electronic device comprising a memory for holding document image data and processor in communication with the memory, the processor; receiving a financial document image; identifying a text chunk in the financial document image by; determining a first pixel of the financial document image as top left pixel of the text chunk based on a top left score of the first pixel; and determining a second pixel of the financial document image as top right pixel of the text chunk based on a top right score of the second pixel; and determining a character count for the text chunk without recognizing any particular character in the text chunk. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
a memory for storing document image data; and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to; receive a financial document image; identify a text chunk in the financial document image by; determining a first pixel of the financial document image as top left pixel of the text chunk based on a top left score of the first pixel; and determining a second pixel of the financial document image as top right pixel of the text chunk based on a top right score of the second pixel; and determine a chunk extension for the text chunk; add the chunk extension to the text chunk so the text chunk includes the chunk extension; and
after adding the chunk extension to the text chunk;determine a character count for the text chunk without recognizing any particular character in the text chunk. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:
instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to; receive a financial document image; identify an interest region in the financial document image; identify a text chunk in the interest region of the financial document image by; determining a first pixel of the financial document image as top left pixel of the text chunk based on a top left score of the first pixel; determining a second pixel of the financial document image as top right pixel of the text chunk based on a top right score of the second pixel; and determine a character count for the text chunk in the interest region of the financial document image without recognizing any particular character in the text chunk; determine a character count for the interest region by summing the character count for the text chunk with a character count of any additional text chunks in the interest region; and determine whether the character count for the interest region exceeds a minimum character count threshold specifically for the interest region. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
