Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion suppliedby the inventors: “In the field of document and form analysis, for m matching and registration, includingcontent location, are important. Some app roaches employ multi-scaling and rotation (and/or image subsetmatching) to matc h keywords. However, such techniques make direct template matching difficult. Other approaches employ a multi-modality technique using semantic information. Suc h techniques requiremultiple stages, and are correspondingly complicated.”
