TLDR
In this paper, a computer-implemented method and apparatus are provided for populating an electronic form from an electronic image, identifying a size, orientation and position of an object within the electronic image and identifying information elements from pixels within the image that correspond to the object.Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and apparatus are provided for populating an electronic form from an electronic image. The method and apparatus identify a size, orientation and position of an object within the electronic image, and identify information elements from pixels within the image that correspond to the object. Fields of the electronic form are displayed to a user along with the identified information elements through a graphical user interface. The information elements are parsed into tagged groups of different information types. At least some of the fields of the electronic form are populated with the tagged groups to produce a populated form. The user is allowed to edit the populated fields through the graphical user interface.read more

Robust real-time object detection.
TL;DR: Viola et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a visual object detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates using a new image representation called the integral image, which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly.

TL;DR: In this article, the user can select a field with a mouse, drag the selected field over a desired region, and then drop the field to insert it in the desired region.
Patent
Visual bar code recognition method
TL;DR: In this article, a visual bar code recognition method which combines conventional decoding techniques with optical character recognition (OCR) was proposed, which can detect the presence of the bar code, and decodes it using the bar/space patterns.
Patent
Multiple image area detection in a digital image
TL;DR: In this article, a method for detecting an image area in a digital image includes identifying in the digital image a first image region indicative of a background area and a second image region indicating the image area, computing gradient values using the pixel values of the digital images, defining a list of strokes based on the gradient values, merging the list of stroke strokes and defining an image region rectangle delimiting the image region using the lists of strokes.
Object segmentation with region growing and principal component analisys
TL;DR: Two different algorithms combine region growing techniques with principal component analysis and are applied to a data set from airborne laser scanners for object segmentation and shape recognition in discrete noisy data.
