Automatically Extracting Receipts Using the Mindee Client Libraries

📘
The Node.js library implementation differs from our other supported languages, see the Node.js dedicated tutorial instead.

When to Use This Feature

Use the Multi-Receipts Detector API when you have:

A single image containing multiple receipts
The need to process each receipt individually without manual separation
A desire to streamline receipt processing workflows

The Multi-Receipts Detector API scans the contents of a file, identifies the coordinates of individual receipts, and allows for their extraction and separate processing.

Note: For PDFs, the API applies this principle at a page level, treating each page as a separate image.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

A valid and up-to-date Mindee API key
An active subscription to the Multi-Receipts Detector API
An active subscription to the Receipt OCR API (Also works with the Financial Document OCR API)
The Mindee client library installed for your programming language

Sample File

For this tutorial, we'll use the following sample multi-receipt image:

When preparing your own files, ensure that:

Receipts are clear, unstained, and properly unfolded
Receipts don't overlap and are fully within the image
Receipts are aligned in roughly the same direction
No other types of documents are mixed in with the receipts

Basic Setup

Import the necessary classes from the Mindee library.
Initialize the Mindee client with your API key.
Load the input file.

from mindee import Client, product
from mindee.extraction.multi_receipts_extractor.multi_receipts_extractor import (
    extract_receipts,
)

mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key-here")
# mindee_client = Client()  # Optionally, set from env.

<?php

use Mindee\Client;
use Mindee\Extraction\ImageExtractor;
use Mindee\Input\PathInput;
use Mindee\Product\MultiReceiptsDetector\MultiReceiptsDetectorV1;
use Mindee\Product\Receipt\ReceiptV5;

$mindeeClient = new Client("my-api-key-here");
// $mindeeClient = new Client(); // Optionally, use an environment variable.
$inputPath = "path/to/your/file.ext";

# frozen_string_literal: true

require 'mindee'
require 'mindee/extraction'

mindee_client = Mindee::Client.new(api_key: 'my-api-key')
my_file_path = '/path/to/the/file.ext'

import com.mindee.MindeeClient;
import com.mindee.input.LocalInputSource;
import com.mindee.extraction.ExtractedImage;
import com.mindee.extraction.ImageExtractor;
import com.mindee.parsing.common.PredictResponse;
import com.mindee.parsing.common.Page;
import com.mindee.product.multireceiptsdetector.MultiReceiptsDetectorV1;
import com.mindee.product.multireceiptsdetector.MultiReceiptsDetectorV1Document;
import com.mindee.product.receipt.ReceiptV5;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;


public class AutoMultiReceiptExtractionExample {
  private static final String API_KEY = "my-api-key";
  private static final MindeeClient mindeeClient = new MindeeClient(API_KEY);
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    String myFilePath = "/path/to/the/file.ext";
    //...
  }

}

using Mindee;
using Mindee.Extraction;
using Mindee.Input;
using Mindee.Product.MultiReceiptsDetector;
using Mindee.Product.Receipt;

var myFilePath = "path/to/my/file.ext";
var mindeeClient = new MindeeClient("my-api-key");

Processing the Input

Detect Multiple Receipts

Use the Multi-Receipts Detector API to identify individual receipts in the image:

input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path(input_path)

result_split = mindee_client.parse(
	product.MultiReceiptsDetectorV1, input_doc, close_file=False
)

<?php

$inputSource = new PathInput($inputPath);
$imageExtractor = new ImageExtractor($inputSource);

$multiReceiptsResult = $client->parse(MultiReceiptsDetectorV1::class, $inputSource);

input_source = mindee_client.source_from_path(file_path)

result_split = mindee_client.parse(
  input_source,
  Mindee::Product::MultiReceiptsDetector::MultiReceiptsDetectorV1,
  close_file: false
)

LocalInputSource inputSource = new LocalInputSource(new File(filePath));
PredictResponse<MultiReceiptsDetectorV1> resultSplit =
  mindeeClient.parse(MultiReceiptsDetectorV1.class, inputSource);

var inputSource = new LocalInputSource(filePath);
var resutlSplit = await mindeeClient.ParseAsync<MultiReceiptsDetectorV1>(inputSource).ConfigureAwait(false);

Extract Individual Receipts

Extract the detected receipts from the original image:

extracted_receipts = extract_receipts(input_doc, result_split.document.inference)

<?php
 
$pageCount = $inputSource->countDocPages();

$totalExtractedReceipts = [];

for ($i = 0; $i < $pageCount; $i++) {
  $receiptsPositions = $multiReceiptsResult->document->inference->pages[$i]->prediction->receipts;
  $extractedReceipts = $imageExtractor->extractImagesFromPage($receiptsPositions, $i);
  $totalExtractedReceipts = array_merge($totalExtractedReceipts, $extractedReceipts);
}

images = Mindee::Extraction::MultiReceiptsExtractor.extract_receipts(input_source, result_split.document.inference)

for (Page<MultiReceiptsDetectorV1Document> page : resultSplit.getDocument().getInference().getPages()) {
  List<ExtractedImage> subImages = imageExtractor.extractImagesFromPage(
    page.getPrediction().getReceipts(),
    page.getPageId()
);

var imageExtractor = new ImageExtractor(inputSource);

foreach (var page in resutlSplit.Document.Inference.Pages)
{
  var subImages = imageExtractor.ExtractImagesFromPage(page.Prediction.Receipts, page.Id);
  //...
}

Process Each Receipt

Loop through the extracted receipts and process each one with the Receipt OCR API:

for idx, receipt in enumerate(extracted_receipts, 1):
	result_receipt = mindee_client.parse(product.ReceiptV5, receipt.as_source())
  print(f"Receipt {idx}:")
  print(result_receipt.document)
  print("-" * 40)

  # Uncomment to save each extracted receipt
  # save_path = f"./receipt_{idx}.pdf"
  # receipt.save_to_file(save_path)

<?php

foreach ($totalExtractedReceipts as $receipt) {
  // Optional: save the extracted receipts to a file
  // $receipt->writeToFile("output/path");

  $result = $client->parse(ReceiptV5::class, $receipt->asInputSource());
  echo $result->document . "\n";
}

images.each do |sub_image|
  # Optional: Save the files locally
  # sub_image.write_to_file("/path/to/my/extracted/file/folder")

  result_receipt = mindee_client.parse(
    sub_image.as_source,
    Mindee::Product::Receipt::ReceiptV5,
    close_file: false
  )
  puts result_receipt.document
end

for (ExtractedImage subImage : subImages) {
  // Optionally: write to a file
  // subImage.writeToFile("/path/to/my/extracted/file/folder");

  PredictResponse<ReceiptV5> resultReceipt =
    mindeeClient.parse(ReceiptV5.class, subImage.asInputSource());
  System.out.println(resultReceipt.getDocument().toString());
}

foreach (var subImage in subImages)
{
  // subImage.WriteToFile($"/path/to/my/extracted/file/folder"); // Optionally: write to a file
  var resultReceipt = await mindeeClient.ParseAsync<ReceiptV5>(subImage.AsInputSource()).ConfigureAwait(false);
  Console.WriteLine(resultReceipt.Document);
}

Example Output

After processing, you'll receive detailed information about each receipt. Here's a sample output:

Best Practices

Handle potential errors and exceptions in your code.
Implement rate limiting or delays between API calls to avoid overloading the server.
Consider saving extracted receipts locally if needed for further processing or record-keeping.
Ensure your input images are of good quality for optimal results.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

Verify your API key and subscription status for both Multi-Receipts Detector and Receipt OCR APIs.
Check the input file format and ensure it's supported.
Review the API response for any error messages.
Consult the Mindee API documentation for more detailed information.

Next Steps

Explore advanced features of the Mindee API.
Integrate the extracted data into your existing workflows.
Consider implementing batch processing for large volumes of receipts.
