Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image information of an image of an original document, a recognition unit that recognizes from the image information acquired by the acquisition unit each of plural entry items and an entry remark written differently from the plural entry items, included in the image, and an associating unit that associates the entry remark with one of the entry items in accordance with a relationship between a location of the entry items recognized by the recognition unit and a location of the entry remark.
Claims10
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a processor programmed to:
- acquire image information of an image of an original document;
- recognize from the acquired image information each of a plurality of entry items and an entry remark written differently from the plurality of entry items, included in the image;
- and
- associate the entry remark with one of the entry items in accordance with a relationship between a location of the recognized entry items and a location of the recognized entry remark;
- wherein each of the plurality of entry items is recognized by:
- capturing a density distribution of the acquired image information in vertical and horizontal directions;
- identifying a plurality of projections, a projection being a location where a density peak in the horizontal direction and a density peak in the vertical direction overlap;
- and
- combining adjacent projections among the identified plurality of projections into a single block, the single block corresponding to one of the plurality of entry items.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring image information of an image of an original document;
- recognizing from the acquired image information each of a plurality of entry items and an entry remark written differently from the plurality of entry items, included in the image;
- and
- associating the entry remark with one of the entry items in accordance with a relationship between a location of the recognized entry items and a location of the recognized entry remark;
- wherein each of the plurality of entry items is recognized by:
- capturing a density distribution of the acquired image information in vertical and horizontal directions;
- identifying a plurality of projections, a projection being a location where a density peak in the horizontal direction and a density peak in the vertical direction overlap;
- and
- combining adjacent projections among the identified plurality of projections into a single block, the single block corresponding to one of the plurality of entry items.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:
- acquiring image information of an image of an original document;
- recognizing from the acquired image information each of a plurality of entry items and an entry remark written differently from the plurality of entry items, included in the image;
- and
- associating the entry remark with one of the entry items in accordance with a relationship between a location of the recognized entry items and a location of the recognized entry remark;
- wherein each of the plurality of entry items is recognized by:
- capturing a density distribution of the acquired image information in vertical and horizontal directions;
- identifying a plurality of projections, a projection being a location where a density peak in the horizontal direction and a density peak in the vertical direction overlap;
- and
- combining adjacent projections among the identified plurality of projections into a single block, the single block corresponding to one of the plurality of entry items.
