DETECTING SIDEBAR IN DOCUMENT

摘要

Detection of a sidebar in a document is provided. An application such as a document processing application processes a page of the document to detect the sidebar. Components of the page are analyzed to detect borders. The one or more borders are processed to discard a subset of the one or more borders identified as false positive candidates. In response to detecting the borders, the borders are processed to detect the sidebar that includes the borders. In response to a failure to detect the borders, the components are processed to detect the sidebar that lacks the borders.
