Automatic file name generation in OCR systems

摘要

Methods and system for processing document images in OCR systems, particularly for selecting a proper file name for a recognized document. The method comprises generating at least one document type hypothesis for the document; verifying each document type hypothesis; selecting a best document type hypothesis and saving the document with a proper name based on the best type hypothesis and unique features. The method further includes determining a logical structure of a document and selecting a best document model hypothesis that has the best degree of correspondence with the selected best block hypotheses for the document. On the basis of the best document model hypothesis the text document reflecting the logical structure of the source document in extended computer-editable format is formed and saved with a proper file name.
