The method for recovering the digital missing of the bill amount disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the system for recovering the digital missing of the bill amount described above.
As shown in fig. 2, the following describes specific steps of a method for recovering missing digits of a bill amount according to an embodiment of the present application in detail.
The bill picture is collected through the collection module 1.
The bill pictures are bill pictures processed electronically by means of scanning, photographing and the like.
And identifying the bill picture through the identification module 2 to obtain a bill amount identification result.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the bill amount is identified for the collected bill picture by an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, and when the bill amount is identified by the OCR technology, there are three types of problems in the data identified by the bill amount:
1. decimal point missing: because the decimal point is generally smaller, the decimal point is easy to lose due to fuzziness or insufficient light, so that integer digits can not be recognized frequently due to the missing of the decimal point in the recognized digital sum information (lowercase sum information), and the difficulty in bill sum recognition is increased;
2. data loss before and after: due to the detection capability of the detection model, fuzzy boundary and other reasons, the situation of data loss before and after the detection is often generated;
3. intermediate data deletion or substitution: in addition to the loss of the preceding and following data, there may be instances where intermediate data is missing or replaced.
The bill amount identification result comprises: a Chinese amount string and a first numeric amount string.
The Chinese amount string (Chinese capitalization information) includes two kinds of data: numeric characters and fractional characters. The digital characters are mainly Chinese digital information, and the Chinese digital information comprises: 0. one, di, tri, fours, wu, lu, seven, ba, jiu. The quantile characters are mainly Chinese quantile information, which includes: ten yuan, bai, qian, wan, jiao, fen, etc. In addition, the Chinese amount character string (Chinese upper case amount information) may further include Chinese capture information, which may be a circle, a round, or the like.
And converting the Chinese amount character string into a second digital amount character string through a conversion module 3.
Counting the first character digit M of the first digital money character string through a counting module 4 1 And a second number of digits M of the second numeric money string 2 (ii) a Comparing the first character digit number M 1 And the number of second character bits M 2 Value of (d), selecting the minimum value of digits min (M) 1 ,M 2 )。
And adding decimal points to the first numeric money character string from the rear of the last character to the front in sequence through a decimal candidate acquisition module 5, generating a preset number of third numeric money character strings and writing the third numeric money character strings into a decimal candidate set.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the optimal value of the preset number is 3.
Subtracting the corresponding digit character number of each third digital sum character string from the corresponding digit character number of the second digital sum character string through a digit difference comparison module 6, and recording the number n of times that the subtraction of the two is 0; dividing the recorded result n corresponding to each third numeric money character string by the minimum value min (M) of the number of digits 1 ,M 2 ) Obtaining a reference ratio n/min (M) 1 ,M 2 )。
And selecting the third digital amount character string corresponding to the maximum reference ratio as a fourth digital amount character string through the integer judgment module 7.
The position of the decimal point in the fourth numeric sum character string is a comparison base point.
Comparing the character numbers of the fourth digital sum character string and the second digital sum character string in a position by a detection module 8 based on the comparison base point; and judging whether the number of the bill amount is missing or not based on the comparison result.
Further, if the comparison result is completely consistent, the number of the bill sum is not lost, and the fourth numeric sum character string or the second numeric sum character string is used as the recovered fifth numeric sum character string.
If the comparison result is not consistent, judging whether one of the two different character numbers is 0 through a recovery module 9; and if one of the two different character numbers is 0, the bill amount digit is lost, the same character number is reserved according to the position, the character number which is not 0 in the two different character numbers is utilized to carry out the position complementing on the corresponding character lost position, and the recovered fifth numeric amount character string is generated.
For example, after OCR recognition is performed on an acquired bill picture, a chinese amount character string is obtained as follows: "sanwanwusanwuerweiqi corner", the first numeric sum character string obtained is: "63537228". The character string "three ten thousand five hundred and ten hundred two hundred binary corner" in the Chinese amount is converted into a character string "35302.2" in the second digital amount. First character digit M of first digit amount character string 1 8, the second digit number M of the second digit amount string 2 Is 6, therefore, the minimum value of the number of bits min (M) 1 ,M 2 )=6。
Adding decimal points to the first numeric-amount character string "63537228" in order from the end character onward, the following 3 third numeric-amount character strings are generated: m is 1 =“63537228.”、m 2 =“6353722.8”、m 3 = "635372.28" and generate a decimal candidate set. The numerical values corresponding to the second numerical value character string 35302.2 are subtracted from the "63537228", "6353722.8" and "635372.28", respectively, and the number of times the subtraction is 0 is recorded, so that 3 third numerical value character strings are calculated: m is 1 =“63537228.”、m 2 =“6353722.8”、m 3 N is the number of times of subtracting 0 from each record of = "635372.28 1 =1、n 2 =1、n 3 And (5). Using the recorded result (n) corresponding to each third numeric money character string 1 =1、n 2 =1、n 3 = 5) divided by the minimum value of the number of bits (min (M) 1 ,M 2 ) = 6), the reference ratios obtained were 1/6, 5/6, respectively.
Selecting a third numeric money character string m corresponding to the maximum reference ratio of 5/6 3 And = 635372.28 is the fourth numeric amount string. The position of the decimal point in the fourth numeric money character string "635372.28" is the comparison base point. And the comparison base point is a money comparison base point, and the fourth digital money character string '635372.28' and the second digital money character string '35302.2' are subjected to data front and back identification according to the comparison base point. Because, when the Chinese amount information and the digital amount information have digit missing, the comparison position cannot be judged from the first digit or the last digit of the original data, otherwise, the identification result cannot be obtained.
Comparing the fourth numeric sum character string '635372.28' with the second numeric sum character string '35302.2' in a digital manner, obviously judging whether one of the two different character numbers is 0 if the comparison result is inconsistent; if the two different character numbers are not 0, acquiring the bill picture again; and if one of the two different character numbers is 0, the bill amount digit is missing, the same character number is reserved according to the digit, the character number which is not 0 in the two different character numbers is used for complementing the digit on the corresponding character missing position, and a recovered fifth digital amount character string '635372.28' is generated.
In summary, the embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a system, a device, and a storage medium for recovering a missing digit of a bill amount, which perform an in-depth information processing by fully utilizing the chinese amount information and the numeric amount information after the bill image recognition, obtain a candidate numeric amount character string by utilizing the numeric amount information, compare the candidate numeric amount character string with the numeric amount information converted from the chinese amount information, determine a comparison base point where a decimal point is located, select a preferred numeric amount character string, compare the preferred numeric amount character string with the numeric amount information converted from the chinese amount information, and perform a bit-complementing recovery on the missing digit of the amount.

Further, referring to fig. 3, a second reference character is determined based on the target character, the second reference character is respectively located at adjacent previous character positions of the target character, and when the target character is a leading character, the second reference character is empty; if the target character is a quantile character, judging the character type of the second reference character; if the second reference character is a numeric character, looping to reselect the next target character; if the second reference character is a quantile character, determining and recording that a third digit of the Chinese money character string is missing on the character position between the target character and the second reference character, and circulating to reselect a next target character; and if the second reference character is empty, determining and recording that a fourth digit missing problem exists in the character position of the Chinese amount character string before the target character, and circulating to reselect the next target character.
According to the above-disclosed digital missing recovery system for the amount of the bill, the recovery module 9 in the digital missing recovery system for the amount of the bill is further configured to perform the following steps.
Further, referring to fig. 4, when there is a missing digit of the ticket data, the position of the missing digit in the fourth/second numeric money string is determined; if the missing digit is at the first position of the fourth digital sum character string/the second digital sum character string, determining and recording that a fifth digit is missing on the first position of the fourth digital sum character string/the second digital sum character string, and circulating to reselect a next target character; if the missing digit is at the last digit of the fourth digital sum character string/the second digital sum character string, determining and recording that a sixth digit missing problem exists in the last digit of the fourth digital sum character string/the second digital sum character string, and circulating to reselect a next target character; if the missing digit is in the middle of the fourth digital sum character string/the second digital sum character string, determining and recording that a seventh digit missing problem exists in the middle of the fourth digital sum character string/the second digital sum character string, and circulating to reselect a next target character; and generating a problem character string corresponding to the fifth digital sum character string according to the corresponding digital missing problems on all the recorded digital missing positions.
For example, when the current fourth numeric-amount character string is "635372.2" and the second numeric-amount character string is "35302.28", the last character number "8" in the second numeric-amount character string "35302.28" is compared with the character number on the corresponding character digit in the fourth numeric-amount character string "635372.2" by bit based on the base point of comparison, the first numeric character "6" and the middle numeric character "7" in the fourth numeric-amount character string "635372.2" are both inconsistent with the numeric character on the corresponding digit in the second numeric-amount character string "35302.28", and one of the three pairs of inconsistent characters is 0, and it is determined that there is a bill-amount digit missing. Wherein the missing digit corresponding to the character number "6" is at the first digit of the fourth digital amount character string/the second digital amount character string, and it is determined that the second digital amount character string has a fifth digit missing problem at the first digit; wherein the missing digit corresponding to the alphanumeric character "8" is at the last digit of the fourth numeric amount string/second numeric amount string, and it is determined that the sixth digit missing problem exists at the last digit of the fourth numeric amount string; wherein the missing digit corresponding to the character number "7" is at the middle digit of the fourth numeric sum character string/the second numeric sum character string, and it is determined that the second numeric sum character string has the seventh digit missing problem at the middle digit.
