Abstract

Among various kinds of documents, forms are one of the important types. The prerequisite for form optical character recognition (Form OCR) is the extraction of characters from form documents. The authors present a clustering based technique for extracting characters from form documents. In this method, they treat the character extraction process as a pattern clustering problem. The feasibility of the novel method is demonstrated through experimenting various kinds of forms. Experimental results reveal the feasibility of the novel method.
