The PHP OCR SDK supports the Bank Check API.

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

Quick-Start

<?php

use Mindee\Client;
use Mindee\Product\Us\BankCheck\BankCheckV1;

// Init a new client
$mindeeClient = new Client("my-api-key");

// Load a file from disk
$inputSource = $mindeeClient->sourceFromPath("/path/to/the/file.ext");

// Parse the file
$apiResponse = $mindeeClient->parse(BankCheckV1::class, $inputSource);

echo $apiResponse->document;

Output (RST):

########
Document
########
:Mindee ID: b9809586-57ae-4f84-a35d-a85b2be1f2a2
:Filename: default_sample.jpg

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:

• value (float|string): corresponds to the field value. Can be null if no value was extracted.
• confidence (float): the confidence score of the field prediction.
• boundingBox ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
• polygon (Point[]): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
• pageId (integer): the ID of the page, always null when at document-level.
• reconstructed (bool): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).

Note: A Point simply refers to a list of two numbers ([float, float]).

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.

AmountField

The amount field AmountField only has one constraint: its value is an optional ?float.

DateField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the date field DateField also implements the following:

• dateObject (date): an accessible representation of the value as a php object. Can be null.

PositionField

The position field PositionField does not implement all the basic BaseField attributes, only boundingBox, polygon and pageId. On top of these, it has access to:

• rectangle ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): a Polygon with four points that may be oriented (even beyond canvas).
• quadrangle ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): a free polygon made up of four points.

StringField

The text field StringField implements the following:

• value (string): represents the value of the field as a string.
• rawValue (string): the value of the string as it appears on the document.

Page-Level Fields

Some fields are constrained to the page level, and so will not be retrievable at document level.

Attributes

The following fields are extracted for Bank Check V1:

Account Number

accountNumber : The check payer's account number.

echo $result->document->inference->prediction->accountNumber->value;

Amount

amount : The amount of the check.

echo $result->document->inference->prediction->amount->value;

Check Number

checkNumber : The issuer's check number.

echo $result->document->inference->prediction->checkNumber->value;

Check Position

📄checkPosition : The position of the check on the document.

foreach($result->document->inference->prediction->checkPosition as $checkPositionElem)
{
    echo $checkPositionElem->polygon->getCoordinates();
}

Check Issue Date

date : The date the check was issued.

echo $result->document->inference->prediction->date->value;

Payees

payees : List of the check's payees (recipients).

foreach ($result->document->inference->prediction->payees as $payeesElem)
{
    echo $payeesElem->value;
}

Routing Number

routingNumber : The check issuer's routing number.

echo $result->document->inference->prediction->routingNumber->value;

Signature Positions

📄signaturesPositions : List of signature positions

foreach ($result->document->inference->pages as $page)
{
    foreach ($page->prediction->signaturesPositions as $signaturesPositionsElem)
    {
        echo $signaturesPositionsElem->polygon;
        echo $signaturesPositionsElem->quadrangle->getCoordinates();
        echo $signaturesPositionsElem->rectangle->getCoordinates();
        echo $signaturesPositionsElem->boundingBox->getCoordinates();
    }
}
