The task of automatic document analysis and recognition is very common in everyday life. Basically, every time when a user needs to automatically parse and recognize some content from a picture captured with a mobile phone/tablet or a scanned document – for example, text, tables, links, etc., automatic document recognition and text analysis come to the stage.
Currently, the number of cars in the world is well over 1 billion. It is no wonder that one of the most common computer vision tasks is the effective control of these vehicles through automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems.
