Deep Learning-Based OCR Techniques at Meituan

Meituan’s OCR system replaces the classic preprocess‑segment‑recognize pipeline with deep‑learning components—CNN‑based text detection, synthetic‑data‑trained character models, and BLSTM‑CTC sequence recognition—delivering far higher accuracy on noisy, varied real‑world images such as menus, receipts, and IDs, though further integration with layout analysis remains needed.
