This is a big request. Hope it’s possible.
The workflow is the same like ImageSelection, but flexible to choose GetTextSelection or ClickSelection, for example.
Here is a summary of zonal OCR technology and bounding boxes:
Zonal OCR is a technique that allows extracting text from specific regions or zones of a document or image. It works by defining bounding boxes around the areas of interest. Some key points about zonal OCR:
-
Bounding boxes are created to mark the regions from which text needs to be extracted. This allows targeting only relevant sections instead of OCRing the entire document.[1][3][10]
-
The bounding box coordinates are specified as (x, y) positions of the top-left and bottom-right corners. This defines a rectangular zone.[4][10]
-
Once the zones are marked with bounding boxes, OCR is performed only within those regions to extract the text.[2][3]
-
Zonal OCR enables extracting specific data fields like names, addresses, totals etc. from structured documents like forms and invoices.[4][15]
-
It is more efficient than OCRing the full document as it ignores irrelevant elements outside the marked zones.[2][5]
-
Defining the right zones and bounding boxes is critical for accuracy. This can be done manually or using automated tools.[1][10]
-
Zonal OCR, when combined with AI/ML techniques, can significantly improve data extraction accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional full-page OCR.[6][8]
In summary, zonal OCR uses bounding boxes to define regions of interest within a document, and then applies OCR only within those zones to extract targeted text data. This technology is very useful for extracting specific structured information from complex documents.
