Abstract

Labeling of food products contains key nutritional information, but it is often inaccessible or unclear to users. To alleviate this problem, the application of modern automatic transcription techniques to this field is studied in this paper. This presents a challenge, due to the structural difference of these charts with respect to the usual type of documents for which OCR systems are developed, and also because of the wide visual variability present in this type of labels. For these reasons, a series of algorithms and deep learning models have been developed and applied as pre-processing for the images and post-processing for the transcription obtained, in order to optimize and complement this automatic transcription. With this whole pipeline, we achieve to extract the nutritional information from the pictures in an efficient, complete, accurate and structured way.

The work has been published in the journal Proceedings Of The 17th International Joint Conference On Computer Vision, Imaging And Computer Graphics Theory And Applications (Visapp), Vol 4, Q4 Agency Scopus (SJR), its regional focus and specialization in , give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-28:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 4 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
