Percepta’s Step-by-Step Process on Edge
OCR at the Edge, Made Simple
1. Image Capture & Enhancement
Percepta leverages integrated or connected edge cameras to capture live streams inputs, including documents, labels etc. Percepta Capture handles live feeds, while Percepta Parser processes static or scanned documents for optimal OCR readiness.
2. Text Detection & Extraction
Detects text regions and extracts multilingual, multi-font content with precision. Percepta Scribble interprets handwritten input while Percepta Capture and Percepta Parser handle printed, structured, scanned documents. Accurately adapts to diverse handwritten inputs with high fidelity output.
3. Text Refinement and Local Utilization
Extracted text is refined for accuracy and structured into formats like JSON or PDFs. With Percepta Editor, users can review, edit, and annotate directly on the device, enabling immediate use to trigger an alert or log information into a database.
4. Optional Cloud Sync (Storage & Updates)
When needed, processed data can be securely uploaded to the cloud for long-term storage (e.g., compliance and audits) and centralized management including remote configuration, monitoring, and seamless firmware updates powered by ROTA.
