Method of image pre-analyzing of a machine-readable form of non-fixed layout

摘要

A method of a pre-recognition processing is proposed for forms with non-fixed fields layout. One or more objects, that are present on the form and can be reliably identified after conversion of the form into electronic state, are preliminarily assigned to act as reference points for spatial binding of data input fields or groups thereof. In the case of a text object as a reference point, the text recognition is additionally performed. The spatial location of the reference point may be not fixed. The reference point may be described as alternative. The field identification may be performed either automatically or manually.
