Method and system for creating flexible structure descriptions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining an image of a paper document;
detecting data fields on the image corresponding to a document type;
generating by a processor of a data capture system a flexible document description for the document type based on the detected data fields, including creating a set of search elements for each data field, each search element having one or more associated search criteria; and
training the flexible document description using a search algorithm to detect the data fields on additional training images based on the set of search elements.

Abstract
A method related to data capture from forms involving optical character recognition comprises detecting data fields on a scanned image; generating a flexible document description based on the detected data fields, including creating a set of search elements for each data field, each search element having associated search criteria; and training the flexible document description using a search algorithm to detect the data fields on additional training images based on the set of search elements.
