Researchers have developed and benchmarked an adaptive Optical Character Recognition (OCR) pipeline specifically designed for digitizing diverse retail bills. This system incorporates a CNN-based enhancement module, an image quality analyzer, and an NLP-based correction layer to handle variations in scan quality and layout. The proposed pipeline demonstrated significant improvements over the Tesseract baseline, achieving a Character Error Rate of 18.4% and a Word Error Rate of 27.6% on a dataset of 360 retail bill images.
