Document imaging and indexing system
ActiveUS20050160115A1Digital data processing detailsCharacter and pattern recognitionDigital imageDocument preparation
A document digitizing method digitizes and automatically indexes documents in printed form. The method includes optically scanning the document, forming and storing a digitized image file from the optically scanned document, optically recognizing characters in the optically scanned document, and forming and storing a text file of the optically recognized characters in document. A retrieval method for retrieving the digitized image file for a document includes searching the text files to identify any having a selected text string and providing access to the digitized image files that correspond to those text files. The digital image file and the text file together represent a digitized document data structure that combines a digital image of a document with a text file of optically recognized characters in the digital image.

Camera-based document imaging
A process and system to transform a digital photograph of a text document into a scan-quality image is disclosed. By extracting the document text from the image, and analyzing visual clues from the text, a grid is constructed over the image representing the distortions in the image. Transforming the image to straighten this grid removes distortions introduced by the camera image-capture process. Variations in lighting, the extraction of text line information, and the modeling of curved lines in the image may be corrected.

Automatic perspective distortion detection and correction for document imaging
InactiveUS20060210192A1Avoid perspective distortionCorrection errorCharacter and pattern recognitionPaper documentDocument preparation
A method and apparatus for detecting and correcting perspective distortion for document imaging is described. The document template of the present invention contains special markers that define the corners of the document. One of these markers, different from the others, uniquely identifies a particular corner. When an image of a document is captured and it is found to contain perspective distortion, the smallest rectangle that encloses the special markers in the captured image is calculated and geometric transforms are used to map the special markers in the captured image to the corners of the smallest rectangle. To correct for orientation errors during image capture, the captured image is rotated based on the location of the unique marker. The present invention can also provide feedback to the operator as the image is being captured. This feedback guides the operator to properly align the image reader for substantially perspective distortion-free imaging.

Apparatus and method for automated capture of document metadata and document imaging
InactiveUS20100328726A1Reduce errorsImprove efficiencyDigitally marking record carriersVisual presentation using printersHuman interactionDocumentation procedure
The present invention comprises a hardware / software combination that is configured to provide for automated capture of metadata associated with paper-based documents. A “reservation” for the metadata and a digital image of the paper-based document is created whenever a digital image of a paper-based document is to be associated with a computer record. The relevant metadata is automatically captured from a computer screen and is then stored in a previously created database record associated with the reservation. Additionally, the metadata can also be associated with a later-captured digital image of the paper-based document by placing a label on the paper-based document. The label contains identifying information for the reservation and this information becomes embedded in the digital image of the paper-based document, which is subsequently created by scanning the paper-based document bearing the label. The subsequently created digital image can then be related to the appropriate metadata by extracting the reservation identification information from the label embedded in the digital image. The overall process provides for automated capturing of metadata and then relating the metadata to a subsequently created digital image of the paper-based document, thereby reducing errors and increasing efficiency by minimizing human interaction in the process.

A method and system for automatically training a document imaging classification and extraction system that switches between a manual mode and an automatic mode based on constant monitoring. A specialized sub-system monitors and records a user interaction with the classification system during the initial manual mode and, in parallel, develops and tests a user configuration with respect to an automated processing engine. The system is capable of being shifted to the automatic mode if a desired acceptability threshold is attained and the document can then be processed automatically. Furthermore, a user can interact with the classification system if the automatic mode fails. Information concerning exception handling can be entered into a training database for continual refinement of the classification and extraction system.
