US Patent 11948374 Systems and methods for detecting text of interest

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to train a machine learning algorithm to detect text of interest. In some embodiments, there is provided a system to detect vertically oriented text of interest including a first data set comprising a plurality of captured digital images each depicting an object of interest and a second data set comprising a plurality of augmented digital images each depicting a captured digital image augmented with a synthetic text image; a first control circuit configured to cause the machine learning algorithm to output a machine learning model trained to automatically detect occurrences of vertically oriented text of interest based on the first data set and the second data set; at least one camera; and a second control circuit configured to execute the machine learning model to automatically detect vertically oriented text of interest on the object of interest.
