METHOD FOR MAPPING FORM FIELDS FROM AN IMAGE CONTAINING TEXT
摘要
<p>Provides a number of methods of mapping form fields on a computer-readable image file, as well as a method for automatically redacting some portions of the image file. One method includes the steps of: performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the image file to produce digitized text. The digitized text is compared with a plurality of keywords to identify at least one known form field on the image file. Each keyword is associated with one of the form fields. Then the location on the image file of any known form fields is compared with the locations of those same form fields within any provided template. Each template has at least one form field in a unique location from the other provided templates, and thereby it is possible to identify the template that matches the image file.</p>
