As we know, the input to the business processes being automated can be in any format.
What if we have an image as an input which contains data?
Let’s look at it!!!
Example
Implementation using UiPath :
Let us implement a workflow which consumes an image and extracts the text from it using various OCRs available.
Sample Image:
Step 1:
Drag “Load Image” activity available under the UI Automation section into the designer panel and supply the Image file path to it.
Create an output image variable “our_Image” as shown.
Step 2:
Drag “Tesseract OCR” activity(use your desired OCR engine i.eMicrosoft, Abby…) into the designer panel and set the needed properties accordingly as shown below by passing the above-created image variable to it.
Save the extracted output into a string variable “extractedData” as shown.
Step 3:
Drag “Message Box” activity to display the extracted OCR output.
Step 4:
Finally, execute the workflow to display the extracted text 🙂
I am an engineer by profession and by heart :)
It's been 7+ years since I have been working with software development and robotic process automation.
I have implemented close to 80+ RPA processes in total by using Uipath.
It is so true that someone learns more by not reading something but by practicing the skill.
I have been trying to understand exactly where people who are just starting out their career struggle and understand the pain of struggling for hours trying to figure something out.I can help you with that.
