Systems and methods for capturing critical fields from a mobile image of a credit card bill

Abstract

The embodiments herein focus on improving recognition accuracy of these fields on credit card bills by detecting and identifying critical fields on a credit card, extracting the data from the critical fields and comparing the data with known data on a payor, payee and biller.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a computer, perform a process comprising:
 receiving an input image of a credit card bill;   performing a codeline recognition process;   capturing a postal service barcode;   extracting an account number and balance due from the image using an optical character recognition process;   obtaining an address of a payor and payee from the image;   identifying the payor and payee based on a comparison of the obtained addresses with a database of payor and payee addresses;   performing a keyword-based capture to obtain a biller name;   confirming a biller name; and   outputting bill data from the credit card bill to a user.
