Abstract
A machine translation of a document is created via a compilation of services by mapping textual content from an image to create a plurality of mapped locations correspondent to at least one object from the image, populating each of the mapped locations with at least one character indicative of the object, each character sharing at least one similar attribute, adding to the image the populated mapped locations, and highlighting at least a portion of the textual content in accordance with the populated at least one character. A compilation of services is provided for identifying, extracting, and assessing electronic images by using a layered approach that reduces time and improves reviewing of medical records and other kinds of documentation.
Claims20
A system for transforming documentation, the system comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for receiving a request from a user to transform a document;
- a database for storing a copy of the document and at least one documentation detail associated with the document;
- an extraction engine for identifying textual content from each page of the document and creating an information layer corresponding to each page of the document based on the textual content;
- wherein each information layer is combed with each corresponding document page;
- wherein each information layer provides searchable access to a portion of the textual content;
- and
- wherein, for each letter string of the textual content and each page of the document, creating the information layer further comprises:
- determining original bounding box size and bounding box coordinates for each letter string of the textual content based on information extracted from the textual content;
- setting page transparency of the page to maximum;
- reducing, gradually, a font size until the textual content fits within the original bounding box size;
- and
- writing a word to the page based on the bounding box coordinates of the page.
A system for transforming documentation in a computing device, the system comprising:
- a graphical user interface capable of receiving a request from a user to transform a document stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
- at least one network port capable of receiving a source document and at least one document attribute;
- a database for recording extraction of textual content from at least one page of the source document;
- a rules engine for identifying information about the extracted textual content and creating an information layer on at least one page of the source document based on the extracted textual content;
- and
- a data layer capable of receiving a searchable version of the source document and the identified information wherein an image of the source document with the corresponding information layer of the document are merged to create a searchable version of the document,
- wherein the creating the information layer further comprises:
- determining original bounding box size and bounding box coordinates for each word of the extracted textual content based on the identified information;
- setting page transparency of the page to maximum;
- reducing, gradually, a font size until the word fits within the original bounding box size;
- and
- writing the word to the page based on the bounding box coordinates of the page.
