System and method for manipulating regions in a scanned image
First Claim
1. A system for manipulating region information generated by a scanner, comprising:
- a document analysis software component; and
a user interface in communication with said document analysis software component, wherein said user interface is configured to allow the sensitivity adjustment of at least one of the attributes assigned to a predefined region in a scanned image, thereby allowing said user interface to reassign said predefined region.

Abstract
Scanned region type sensitivity logic and scanned region clustering/declustering logic allow the manipulation of regions within a scanned image. A scanned region type sensitivity logic allows the manipulation of region type attributes by allowing a user of a scanner product, through the use of a user interface, to adjust the sensitivity of a particular region type in real time, with the results of the adjustment displayed back to the user through the user interface. A scanned region clustering/declustering logic allows a user of a scanner product, through the use of a user interface, to manipulate the grouping of regions displayed to the user in real time. Both of these forms of scanning logic are predicated on the underlying use of a document analysis technology that stores probabilities (“p-values”) or other relative statistics on all plausible region types as part of the definition of the regions.

6. A method for manipulating region information generated by a scanner, comprising the steps of:
-
scanning an image, said scanned image comprising at least one region;
analyzing said scanned image using document analysis software;
adjusting the sensitivity of at least one of the attributes of a predefined region in said scanned image using a user interface in communication with said document analysis software; and
reassigning said predefined region based on said adjusted sensitivity. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
