A Fast and Robust Approach for Document Segmentation and Classification
We report in this paper a robust implementation of document segmentation and classification. In this algorithm, top-down approach is adopted due to its fast processing speed and reliability. In addition, the approach accounts for every portion of the processed page and it is also capable of image display a t different scale and allowing editing of classified blocks such as changing, merging and splitting of blocks. In classification stage, relevant attributes extracted out from t,he segmentation process are utilised. The algorithm was tested on a number of sample document images and the results were satisfactory.
