Abstract
An image is acquired by a camera. The image has a first set of characters and a second set of characters. The first set of characters are classified as an identifier. The second set of characters are classified as data associated with the identifier. The image is divided to create an image segment. The image segment includes the first set of characters and not the second set of characters. The first set of characters are decoded in the image segment to generate a first character string. The second set of characters are decoded to generate a second character string. The first character string is linked to the second character string based on classifying the first set of characters as the identifier and the second set of characters as the data associated with the identifier.
