Abstract

We propose an efficient method for automatically extracting express waybills from parcel images, which is challenging due to varied resolution of parcel images, arbitrary direction of waybills and different information filled by senders. To address these challenges, logo matching is employed to extract the waybills. We begin by extracting scale-invariant feature-transformation (SIFT) keypoints from both the reference logo image and a parcel image, and matching them subject to a consistent projective transformation (homography) by using random sample consensus (RANSAC). Once the homography matrix is computed, we extract the waybill of parcel image by mapping all pixels from a standard waybill image to the parcel image. Experimental results on test datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
