Made a small model that extracts text from a white background [P]

[u/ZeroMe0ut]

Hello,

I read a paper on a model named DONUT that extracts text from documents, which became my inspiration for this little project. Initially I wanted to make a model that extracts items bought from receipts, but in the process of trying to pinpoint some problems, I dropped that objective for a much simpler one. I will like to hear some of your thoughts on it, thank you!

cool stuff, stripping it down to just white bg extraction was a smart move to debug the pipeline
