Date and Serial-Code Extraction from Field Photographs

A browser-based application read date and serial codes from cigarette-packet photographs captured by field volunteers. It showed the extracted text for verification.

The challenge

What needed solving

Photographs varied in angle, orientation, lighting and packet design. The code fields had to be located before their characters could be read.

The solution

How Qualitas solved it

An object-detection model located text regions and character-recognition software read them. Volunteers uploaded images and checked the extracted fields.

How the system works

YOLO located the date and serial regions; PaddleOCR read the cropped text. Separating field location from reading supported photographs captured without a fixed factory fixture.

Results and practical value

Date extraction reached 99.14% accuracy and serial-code recognition reached 95.66% after three months of development.
