How to extract slanted data?

[MarkAlexandrovi]

Hello,

I have a scan of passport. Most of the information is located horizontally, but passport's number is located vertically.

I can extract all information manually:
1) Decipher extracts all horizontally information automatically
2) I make a copy, rotate it 90 degrees and merge original version with copy
3) I extract passport's number from copy manually

How do I extract all data with Decipher automatically?

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately Decipher doesn't support differently orientated text at this time, but it would be a great addition!

Please submit this via the Innovate button at the top of the page as a new idea. All submissions are reviewed by the Decipher manager and we look to get the best ideas into the future releases.

Thanks

Hi Ben,

Yes, I'm going to submit it.

So I can extract horizontally information and then I can send the same page for extracting vertically information.
Ben, tell me, please, how I can rotate my pages in Decipher automatically or before Decipher with Blue Prism?

Hi Mark,

There's nothing I can think of "out-of-the-box" but I've been able to find a simple VBO method you can try.

So I added an action to the BP VBO "Utility - Image Manipulation".

- I created 2 image based data items, effectively Input and Output.
- Upload your image to the input data item
- Create a code stage, with the Input as an input and the Output as an output
- Add the following to the code tab

Dim bmp As Bitmap = New Bitmap(Input)

bmp.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone)

Output = bmp

You'll need to modify it to figure out how to get the image in and out, but it's the start of what could be a useful action.

I got the info from https://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/extras/image/image-rotation.html

Thanks
