AUTOMATIC FORMS PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods analyze the physical structure of text rows in a document image 21800, including the positions of one or more alignments of one or more character blocks 132 in one or more text rows of the document image 21800. The systems and methods determine one or more groups of text rows that are placed into a class based on the structures of the text rows, such as the positions of the one or more alignments of the one or more character blocks 132 in each text row. A pattern matching system 211 then determines if one or more classes should be further combined into a combined class.
