Image Processing and Data Extraction through OCR
The project consists on writing code to extract information from a scanned guide (which we will provide to you as a pdf file) and store it in a spreadsheet. The guide follows a regular, structured format in which restaurants are listed in alphabetical with the following information:
Line 1:
• Business Name: In larger font and bold letters
• Cuisine Type: Following restaurant name, separated by two spaces, in a smaller font and italics
• Three different ratings and Cost: Aligned to the right of the line, each enclosed in a shadowed box. The cost is the last box and the amount is preceded by a dollar sign ($).
Line 2 (may be several lines): Fields in the second line are separated by |
• Neigborhood: In bold
• Address: Shows address and a short explanation of the location in parenthesis
• Phone Number: Formatted as xxx-xxx-xxxx
• Website: If available
If a business has several locations, other locations will be listed following the same format.
Line 3 (or more depending on length of previous field)
• Short description
A sample page is included in the attachment.
Out of the box OCR software has not produced satisfactory results for line 1 because of the boxes that enclose ratings and costs.
Of the information listed, we need to create a spreadsheet with the following fields:
Business Name, Type, Neighborhood, Address, Phone Number, each of the three Ratings, and Cost.
If the business has several locations, each location should be listed in a separate record/row.
The task for the developer consists in writing code that takes as an input the pdf file we will provide and produce as output a csv file with the information listed above. The freelancer can solve the difficulty created by the boxes enclosing the ratings and price as he/she sees fit (a feasible approach could be to first remove the boxes through image processing in order to be able to use standard OCR packages). We will provide several sample pages for testing purposes. The solution needs to be reliable and is expected to work on a file containing several hundred pages.
