## 🎯 Overview

The IDP (Intelligent Document Processing) System is a complete end-to-end pipeline for:
- **Document Classification** - Automatically identifies document types (Invoice, Receipt, Form, Bank Statement)
- **Named Entity Recognition** - Extracts key fields (dates, amounts, IDs, names, addresses)
- **OCR Integration** - Text extraction from images and PDFs

### Key Features
- 📄 **Multi-format Support**: PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF
- ⚡ **Fast Processing**: <2 seconds per document on CPU
- 💾 **Lightweight**: <500MB total memory footprint
- 🎯 **High Accuracy**: ~90% overall accuracy

## 📈 Real-World Performance

| Document Quality | Accuracy |
|------------------|----------|
| High-quality scans | 93-96% |
| Standard photos | 85-92% |
| Poor quality/handwritten | 65-80% |

### Tips for Better Accuracy
- Use high-resolution scans (300+ DPI)
- Ensure good lighting for photos
- Enable adaptive thresholding for low-quality images
- Train on domain-specific data for best results
