Abstract
A system and method for accessing elements of a table in a digital image of the table, including: obtaining the digital image of the table; finding table elements in the digital image based on digital table properties, wherein the table elements define table cells; calculating coordinates of the table cells in the digital image based on the table elements; and accessing content of a selected table cell in the digital image using the coordinates of the selected table element.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for accessing elements of a table in a digital image-of the table, the method comprising:
- obtaining the digital image of the table;
- finding table elements in the digital image based on digital table properties by processing the digital image using imaging processing techniques, wherein the table elements define table cells;
- calculating coordinates of the table cells in the digital image based on the table elements;
- and
- accessing content of a selected table cell in the digital image using the coordinates of the selected table element.
A system for accessing elements of a table in a digital image-of the table, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain the digital image of the table;
- find gridlines in the digital image based on digital table properties by processing the digital image using imaging processing techniques, wherein gridlines define table cells;
- calculate coordinates of the table cells in the digital image based on the table elements;
- and
- access content of a selected table cell in the digital image using the coordinates of the selected table element.
