Electronic Invoicing using Image Processing

Abstract

Most ecommerce companies have their receive to pay process as predominantly manual, leading to non-reliability of payments & delayed visibility for sellers and requirement of additional manpower for scaling up for buyers. With the correct image and pdf processing tools, it is possible to automate this process for more efficient and cost-effective results. The research paper focuses on automating the task of invoice processing which is predominantly done manually. The idea is to save time, effort, and costs while eliminating human errors from the process. There are several existing image and pdf processing tools of which we will discuss pdftotext, tesseract and tesseract4.
