Abstract
Techniques are disclosed to identify a form document in an image using a digital fingerprint of the form document. To do so, the image is evaluated to detect features of the image. For each feature, a pixel is plotted in a second image. The second image is the digital fingerprint of the form. To identify the form corresponding to the digital fingerprint, the digital fingerprint may be compared to digital fingerprints of known forms.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating a digital fingerprint corresponding to a form depicted in a digital image, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more features of a form depicted in a first digital image;
- and
- for each feature of the one or more features:
- identifying coordinates associated with the feature within the first digital image, and
- plotting a pixel in a second image based on the coordinates associated with the feature, wherein a position of the pixel in the second image matches a position associated with the feature in the first digital image, and wherein the second image comprises a digital fingerprint of the form depicted in the first digital image.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed on a processor, perform an operation to generate a digital fingerprint corresponding to a form depicted in a digital image, the operation comprising:
- identifying one or more features of a form depicted in a first digital image;
- and
- for each feature of the one or more features:
- identifying coordinates associated with the feature within the first digital image, and
- plotting a pixel in a second image based on the coordinates associated with the feature, wherein a position of the pixel in the second image matches a position associated with the feature in the first digital image, and wherein the second image comprises a digital fingerprint of the form depicted in the first digital image.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory hosting an application, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation to generate a digital fingerprint corresponding to a form depicted in a digital image, the operation comprising:
- identifying one or more features of a form depicted in a first digital image;
- and
- for each feature of the one or more features:
- identifying coordinates associated with the feature within the first digital image, and
- plotting a pixel in a second image based on the coordinates associated with the feature, wherein a position of the pixel in the second image matches a position associated with the feature in the first digital image, and wherein the second image comprises a digital fingerprint of the form depicted in the first digital image.
