Receipt Layout Correction - Dewarping/Deskew explained

Skewed Crumpled Distored Receipts are saved!

As explained in the article "What affects data extraction accuracy," poor image quality is one of the primary indirect causes of inaccurate data extraction.

Specifically, problems like skewed, crumpled, or distorted receipts can cause:

  • Misplaced information where OCR misaligns the extracted data

  • Loss of context that is required for accurate interpretation

  • Incorrect identification of line items, totals, and other critical fields

Our new document layout correction technology directly addresses these specific challenges by intelligently reconstructing and aligning document elements even when severely distorted.

What specific document quality problems does Graph-Based Dewrapping technology solve at Veryfi?

While our knowledge base outlines multiple causes of poor extraction (including blurriness, low resolution, and bleed-through text), this technology specifically targets:

  • Document skew and warping: Corrects angular distortion and curved surfaces

  • Text element misalignment: Brings line items, descriptions, prices, and totals to the same level

  • Structural reconstruction: Rebuilds logical document layout even from severely distorted source materials

How does this solution fit into Veryfi's overall approach to document quality?

This technology complements our existing document quality recommendations:

  • It works alongside our blur detection capabilities

  • Enhances the effectiveness of our OCR score indicators

  • Provides an additional layer of correction beyond basic deskewing

For customers already following our best practices for document capture, this technology further improves extraction results by addressing previously challenging distortion scenarios.

Which verticals benefit most from this technology?

Industries with high volumes of problematic document quality will see the greatest impact:

  • Travel & Expense Management

  • Consumer Loyalty Programs

  • Any use case where correct data extraction on the line item level is required
