Automated text extraction from source drawing and composition into target drawing with translated text placement according to source image analysis

摘要

A document processing method and system for automizing extraction of source language sentences from figures, which is the pre-processing for figure translation, as well as embedding of translated sentences in drawings, which is the postprocessing in figure translation. The pre-processing consists of recognizing the regions included in a source figure, extracting a sentence from each region, and extracting the topological characteristics of the figure, and the post-processing consists of enlarging shrinking each sentence display region according to the change of the sentence length by translation, and generating a figure which preserves the extracted topological characteristics and includes the enlarged/shrinked sentence display regions.
