Contribution of Multiresolution Description for Archive Document Structure Recognition

Aurélie Lemaître, Jean Camillerapp, Bertrand Coüasnon · Proceedings of the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition · 2007

When reading a document, we intuitively have a first global approach in order to determine the whole structure, before reading parts in details. We propose to apply the same kind of mechanism by introducing the concept of multiresolution in an existing generic method for structured document recognition. This new combination of different vision levels makes it possible to recognize low structured documents. We present our work on an example: the multiresolution description of archive documents that are naturalization decree registers from the 19th and 20th century. The validation has been made on 85,088 images. Integrated in a platform for archive documents, the located elements offers to users a fast leaf through naturalization decrees.

GEODOC: the GRID document file, record structure and data element description

T. G. Trippe, Victoria White, Francis G. Henderson et al. · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1975

The purpose of this report is to describe the information structure of the GEODOC file. GEODOC is a computer based file which contains the descriptive cataloging and indexing information for all documents processed by the National Geothermal Information Resource Group. This file (along with other GRID files) is managed by DBMS, the Berkeley Data Base Management System. Input for the system is prepared using the IRATE Text Editing System with its extended (12 bit) character set, or punched cards.

The Development and Structure of the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Document Type Definition

Janice E. Ruth · 2024

Although there has been recent speculation about applying the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Document Type Definition (DTD) to a host of descriptive outputs, including catalog records and subject guides, its perceived need, design, and development emerged from the American archival community’s focus on that special subset of finding aids known as collection inventories and registers. This article briefly analyzes the traditional function and structure of these finding aids in a paper-based form and explores how longtime interest in disseminating these guides electronically led to the formation of the Berkeley Finding Aid Project in 1993, and five years later, to the version 1.0 release of EAD. The author provides a basic outline of EAD’s structure and demonstrates that although much of its design stems from American archival practice, its developers tried from the outset to create a data model that would merit international support and address the needs of a wide variety of archival institutions both in the United States and abroad.

Semantic structuring of documents

Line Poullet, J.-M. Pinon, Sylvie Calabretto · 2002

This paper presents a formal model for an explicit description of the semantic structure which implicitly exists with documents. This model relies on content meaning description of document elements. Meaning representation is distributed in the overall architecture model: it binds a semantic structure, a logical structure of documents and a domain model. The semantic structure contains two levels of description: meaning representation of information units. The description logic formalism is used to represent semantics of document elements and document rhetorical organisation. This paper shows how semantic structuring of documents can be efficiently defined using SGML syntax. Using this documents structuring norm, one can define two levels of description: generic semantic structure (vs. Document Type Definition) and specific semantic structure (vs. instantiated document) in order to define an abstract interface to the information stored in documents. The medical patient record has been presented as a relevant example for handling semantic structured documents.

<title>Form understanding for automated knowledge acquisition</title>

Yuan Tang, Chang Yan, Ching Y. Suen · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1992

The knowledge acquisition bottleneck has become the major impediment to the development and application of effective information systems. To remove this bottleneck, new form understanding techniques must be introduced to acquire automatically knowledge from documents. In this study, a document is considered to have two structures: geometric structure and logical structure. They play a key role in the process of the knowledge acquisition, which can be viewed as a process of acquiring the above structures. Extracting the geometric structure from a document refers to document analysis; mapping the geometric structure into logical structure is regarded as document understanding. The form understanding based on form description language (FDL) combines the both of them. This method consists of two phases: (1) Form description using the FDL which contains two parts: (a) Structure analysis based on the form structure description (FSD); (b) Item location based on the item description (IDP). (2) Mapping form description onto form structure: the FDL will be interpreted and mapped into the structure. In this phase, the following stages are included: (a) Interpretation of the form description; (b) Form mapping; (c) Item image production; (d) Item component selection; (e) Learning.

PII:SO031-3203(96)00044-1 AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT PROCESSING: A SURVEY

Yuan Y. Tang, Seong-whan Lee T, Ching Y. Suen · 1996

Abstract--Surveys of the basic concepts and underlying techniques are presented in this paper. A basic model for document processing is described. In this model, document processing can be divided into two phases: document analysis and document understanding. A document has two structures: geometric (layout) structure and logical structure. Extraction of the geometric structure from a document refers to document analysis; mapping the geometric structure into logical structure deals with document understanding. Both types of document structures and the two areas of document processing are discussed. Two categories of methods have been used in document analysis, namely, (1) hierarchical methods including top-down and bottom-up approaches, (2) no-hierarchical methods including modified fractal signature. Tree transform, formatting knowledge and description language approaches have been used in document understanding. A particular case of form document processing is discussed. Form description and form registration approaches are presented. A form processing system is also introduced. Finally, many techniques, uch as skew detection, Hough transform, Gabor filters, projection, crossing counts, form definition language, etc. which have been used in these appro-aches are discussed.

MVA'SO IAPR Workshop on Machine Vision Applications Nov. 28-30,1990, Tokyo Model based Understanding of Document Images

Koichi Kise, Ken-ichi Momota, Masaki Yamaoka et al. · 2009

Document image understanding is a task to generate the structured description about contents of a document. In this paper, we propose a new method of document image understanding which employs the domain specific knowledge base called document model. Document model is structural representation of constraints on the layout structure as well as the logical structure of a target document. Since the variation of the structure can be described in document model, intermediate results of understanding generally include multiple candidates. In order to generate plausible description from such candidates, we introduce the strategy of hypothesis generation and testing. From the experiments for 100 visiting cards, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. 1.

ToCAI: A framework for indexing and retrieval of multimedia documents

Nicola Adami, A. Bugatti, Antonio Corghi et al. · Institutional Research Information System (Università degli Studi di Brescia) · 2003

This paper presents the ToCAI (table of content-analytical index) description scheme (DS) for content description of audio-visual documents. The original idea comes from the structure used for technical books. One may easily understand a book's sequential organization by looking at its table of contents while quickly retrieving elements of interest by means of the analytical index. This description scheme provides therefore a hierarchical description of the time sequential structure of a multimedia document (thanks to the ToC), suitable for browsing, together with an "analytical index" (AI) of audio-visual objects of the document, suitable for effective retrieval. Besides, two sub-description schemes for information about description generation and about the metadata associated with the document are also enclosed in the general DS. The detailed structure of the DS is also presented by means of UML (unified modelling language) notation and an application example is shown. Finally, some considerations concerning the adopted visual interface are made.

Optimization and Application of EPA Device Description Based on XML

Suying Yang, Fang Li-xin, Chongquan Zhong et al. · 2006

In order to enhance field devices interoperability in Ethernet Plant for Automation (EPA) network control system, the key of the research is focused on the characteristics of eXtensible Device Description Language (XDDL) and device description document based on XML. On this foundation, this paper puts forward a synthetic optimizing solution for device description document application from three aspects which include optimization methods of Extensible Markup Language (XML) parsing, buffer-memory display and secondary-parse storage structure. The test results prove that the processing rate of optimized EPA device description document triples over, which achieves an obvious effect.
