PROCESSING A REUSABLE GRAPHIC IN A DOCUMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing a reusable graphic in a document, the method comprising:
- extracting an identified graphic from the document to provide an extracted graphic;
storing the extracted graphic in a reusable graphic repository;
extracting at least one structural feature associated with the extracted graphic; and
classifying the extracted graphic based on the at least one structural feature.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for processing a graphic in a document so that the graphic may be reused in a different application than the one it was originally used in. For a given document, a graphic may be identified from within the document and extracted from the document. The extracted graphic may be stored in a suitable storage medium, such as a reusable graphic repository. A structural feature associated with the extracted graphic may also be extracted. The extracted graphic may then be classified based on the extracted structural feature. Furthermore, a method and apparatus are provided for generating a reusable graphic from a document.

14. An apparatus for processing a reusable graphic in a document, the apparatus comprising:
-
a graphic extraction module operative to extract an identified graphic from the document to provide an extracted graphic; a reusable graphic repository, operatively connected to the graphic extraction module, operative to store the extracted graphic; a feature extraction module, operatively connected to the reusable graphic repository, operative to extract at least one structural feature associated with the extracted graphic; and a classification module, operatively connected to the feature extraction module and the reusable graphic repository, operative to classify the extracted graphic based on the at least one structural feature. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
