Document Image Analysis CSE 717 An Introduction
Document Image Analysis • DIA is the theory and practice of recovering the symbol structures of digital images scanned from paper or produced by computer • DIA is a subfield of Digital Image processing • Digital images of natural objects: X-rays, fingerprints, faces, scenery, etc. are NOT part of DIA • Digital images of symbolic objects: Postal addresses, printed articles, forms, music sheets, engineering drawings, topographic maps belong to DIA • Source: Scanners, printers, fax machines, hand! • Incidental text: license plates, billboards, subtitles, in photos and video • WWW ?? • DIA’s grand goal is take us to the land of paperless office
