Optical character recognition using a Tesseract engine would identify the contents of the back-strip of drugs. At the second stage, these contents will pass through a custom named entity tagger to identify the drug name. The third stage will involve the extraction of relevant information from the database to perform a series of validation techniques on the extracted drug data. On processing and confirming these parameters, the drugs will be classified as counterfeit or valid. ...
