The Java OCR SDK supports the Business Card API.

Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.
Business Card sample

Quick-Start

import com.mindee.MindeeClient;
import com.mindee.input.LocalInputSource;
import com.mindee.parsing.common.AsyncPredictResponse;
import com.mindee.product.businesscard.BusinessCardV1;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class SimpleMindeeClient {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    String apiKey = "my-api-key";
    String filePath = "/path/to/the/file.ext";

    // Init a new client
    MindeeClient mindeeClient = new MindeeClient(apiKey);

    // Load a file from disk
    LocalInputSource inputSource = new LocalInputSource(new File(filePath));

    // Parse the file asynchronously
    AsyncPredictResponse<BusinessCardV1> response = mindeeClient.enqueueAndParse(
        BusinessCardV1.class,
        inputSource
    );

    // Print a summary of the response
    System.out.println(response.toString());

    // Print a summary of the predictions
//  System.out.println(response.getDocumentObj().toString());

    // Print the document-level predictions
//    System.out.println(response.getDocumentObj().getInference().getPrediction().toString());

    // Print the page-level predictions
//    response.getDocumentObj().getInference().getPages().forEach(
//        page -> System.out.println(page.toString())
//    );
  }

}

Field Types

Standard Fields

These fields are generic and used in several products.

BaseField

Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic BaseField class.
A typical BaseField object will have the following attributes:

confidence (Double): the confidence score of the field prediction.
boundingBox (Polygon): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
polygon (Polygon): contains the relative vertices coordinates (polygon extends List<Point>) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
pageId (Integer): the ID of the page, always null when at document-level.

Note: A Point simply refers to a List of Double.

Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom toString method that can be used to print their value as a string.

StringField

The text field StringField extends BaseField, but also implements:

value (String): corresponds to the field value.
rawValue (String): corresponds to the raw value as it appears on the document.

Attributes

The following fields are extracted for Business Card V1:

Address

address: The address of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getAddress().value);

Company

company: The company the person works for.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getCompany().value);

Email

email: The email address of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getEmail().value);

Fax Number

faxNumber: The Fax number of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getFaxNumber().value);

Firstname

firstname: The given name of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getFirstname().value);

Job Title

jobTitle: The job title of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getJobTitle().value);

Lastname

lastname: The lastname of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getLastname().value);

Mobile Number

mobileNumber: The mobile number of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getMobileNumber().value);

Phone Number

phoneNumber: The phone number of the person.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getPhoneNumber().value);

Social Media

socialMedia: The social media profiles of the person or company.

for (socialMediaElem : result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getSocialMedia())
{
    System.out.println(socialMediaElem.value);
}

Website

website: The website of the person or company.

System.out.println(result.getDocument().getInference().getPrediction().getWebsite().value);
