More Information
Summary:The method includes segmenting a document image to identify image objects within the document image and applying an automatic algorithm to the image objects so as to assign initial metadata to the image objects. The method further includes selecting image objects from the set of image objects whose metadata satisfy filtration criteria so as to exclude those selected image objects from processing and processing a rest of the image objects in the set of image objects. The method further includes presenting the document image, image objects, and metadata to the user and enabling input from the user to manage the image objects, subsets, and metadata.
