REGISTERING AND RETRIEVING DEVICE OF DOCUMENT INFORMATION

摘要

PURPOSE:To shorten the time needed for production of a summary edition with a simple method by extracting automatically the information of an area among the printed document pictures which is marked by a fluorescent pen, etc. CONSTITUTION:A document 11 is scanned at a picture information input part 14 and then fed into a region discriminating part 15. The part 15 segmentes a fixed region centering on an area in the document 11 which is marked by a fluorescent pen. This segment region is stored in a memory 18 together with the entire document picture. For the region stored in the memory 18, a character train region is segmented by a segmenting part 16 and then stored again in the memory 18. The character train sent from the part 16 is summarized at a summary producing part 17 and then stored in the memory 18 in the form of a page of summary edition. Thus a summary edition of the printed document can be obtained automatically.
