SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED DOCUMENT IMAGE ORIENTATION CORRECTION

Systems and methods are configured for correcting the orientation of an image data object subject to optical character recognition (OCR) by receiving an original image data object, generating initial machine readable text for the original image data object via OCR, generating an initial quality score for the initial machine readable text via machine-learning models, determining whether the initial quality score satisfies quality criteria, upon determining that the initial quality score does not satisfy the quality criteria, generating a plurality of rotated image data objects each comprising the original image data object rotated to a different rotational position, generating a rotated machine readable text data object for each of the plurality of rotated image data objects and generating a rotated quality score for each of the plurality of rotated machine readable text data objects, and determining that one of the plurality of rotated quality scores satisfies the quality criteria.
