Novel Automatic Bank Check Recognition Based on Deep Learning

Published:27 March 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

In spite of speed evolution of digital techniques, a huge systems continue to rely on the use of paper as the dominant medium. Bank checks are part too and still widely used all over the world for financial transactions. In this paper, we propose a new architecture for automatic bank check recognition based on deep learning. The proposed architecture involves four stages: segment regions of interest into individual digits, normalization, recognition of each character using a convolutional neural network classifier and syntactic verification. Experimental results are presented using multiple checks from Moroccan banks to show the importance of each module by analyzing the effect over the recognition accuracy. All the modules proposed are highly configurable and can be adapted to suit the characteristics of checks from different countries.
