Recognition of Document Structure on the Basis of Spatial and Geometric Relationships between Document Items

This paper introduces a new method to extract and classify the meaningful information from documents automatically. The basic idea in our method is to utilize the spatial and geometric relationships between document items. Our approach is adaptable even if the layout structures are modified more or less, because the coordinate values of positions, sizes, lengthes and so on are not specified directly. Additionally, some experiments for typical documents such as library cataloging cards, name cards and letters are shown concretely.
