Abstract

In this study, we present a machine-learning-based approach that focuses on the automatic retrieval of engraved expiry dates. We leverage generative adversarial networks by augmenting the dataset to enhance the classifier performance and propose a suitable convolutional neural network (CNN) model for this dataset referred to herein as the CNN for engraved digit (CNN-ED) model. Our evaluation encompasses a diverse range of supervised classifiers, including classic and deep learning models. Our proposed CNN-ED model remarkably achieves an exceptional accuracy, reaching a 99.88% peak with perfect precision for all digits. Our new model outperforms other CNN-based models in accuracy and precision. This work offers valuable insights into engraved digit recognition and provides potential implications for designing more accurate and efficient recognition models in various applications.
