Understanding Expiration Date
In this project, a CNN-based framework is developed, which can detect and understand expiration dates on the products. Given an input image, the framework first detects the dates and extracts their regions from the entire input image. Then, it identifies the day, month, and year components from the detected date regions. Later, it recognizes the characters of the day, month, and year components. Finally, the appropriate date is selected as an expiration date.
