Abstract
A data capture component of a mobile device receives information for an identification of a data field in a physical document. The data capture component receives a video stream comprising a plurality of frames, wherein each frame comprises a portion of the physical document. A frame is selected from the plurality of frames in the video stream. One or more text regions in the frame are identified. Each of the identified text region(s) in the frame is processed to identify data of each of the identified text region(s) and to select data of one of the identified text region(s) that corresponds to a set of attributes associated with the data field. The selected data is then compared with data of text regions of a subsequent frame. If the data of the text regions of the subsequent frame is a closer match to the set of attributes, the selected data is updated. A display field is then provided with the selected data for presentation with the frame in a user interface.
