METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FORM-INDEPENDENT REGISTRATION OF FILLED-OUT CONTENT

摘要

A device for registration of content in a filled-out application form is disclosed. The device is configured for scanning at least one portion of the filled-out application form. The device is configured for extracting filled-out content from the scanned form. The geometrical features of the master form are retrieved. The master form includes one or more anchor fields. Each anchor field has one or more anchor zones and at least one anchor segment. At least one anchor segment has global adjustment parameters and geometrical features. The extracted filled-out content is related to the retrieved geometrical features of a master form to create a new geometrical representation of the extracted filled-out content of the scanned application form. The new representation of the filled-out content based on the global adjustment parameters for the at least one anchor segment is globally adjusted. The globally adjusted filled-out content based on the geometrical features for the anchor segments is locally adjusted.

主权项

1. A device for registration of content of a filled-out application form, the device configured for:
scanning at least one portion of the filled-out application form; extracting filled-out content from the scanned form; retrieving geometrical features of a master form including one or more anchor fields, each having at least one anchor zone and at least one anchor segment, wherein the at least one anchor field and zone has global adjustment parameters and geometrical features; relating the extracted filled-out content to the retrieved geometrical features of a master form to create a new geometrical representation of the extracted filled-out content of the scanned application form; globally adjusting the new representation of the filled-out content based on the global adjustment parameters for the at least one anchor field in the anchor zone; and locally adjusting the globally adjusted filled-out content based on the geometrical features for the filled-out content.
