Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing forms includes accepting a form conforming to a template at a computer system having a local memory, wherein the template is not stored in the local memory. Identification information is extracted from the form using the computer system. The identification information indicates a network address of a remote storage location external to the computer system, in which the template is stored. The template is retrieved responsively to the identification information by communication with the remote storage location via a wide area network (WAN). The form is processed responsively to the retrieved template.

Abstract: A method for form processing in a data processing system comprises creating a computer-readable template of a form having a feature designed for automatic dropout in an automated form processing system. Embedded software code is added to the template. The embedded code is configured, when running on a data processing apparatus, to determine printing attributes of an output device connected to the data processing apparatus and to modify the feature of the form responsively to the printing attributes and to a dropout capability of the form processing system. The template is provided to the data processing apparatus, thus causing the data processing apparatus to print the form having the modified feature using the output device.

Abstract: A method, including automatically identifying, by a processor, a region of a digital image containing first pixels, each situated on a positive horizontal gradient, and second pixels in proximity to the first pixels, each situated on a negative horizontal gradient. A distribution of intensities of a color channel is then calculated for the pixels in the region, and the distribution is analyzed in order to detect whether the region contains anti-aliased text.

Abstract: A method of detecting anti-aliased text in digital images includes identifying 42 a region of a digital image containing first pixels and second pixels. An image is initially converted 40 into a grayscale image. The first pixels are identified if they lie on a horizontal line with a positive intensity gradient, wherein for a given pixel, the left neighbouring pixel is darker (i.e. has a lower intensity value) and the right neighbouring pixel is lighter (i.e. has a higher intensity value). Second pixels (within a predefined proximity/distance from the first pixels) are identified if they lie on a horizontal line with a negative intensity gradient, wherein the left neighbouring pixel is lighter (i.e. has a higher intensity value) and the right neighbouring pixel is darker (i.e. has a lower intensity value). Once the pixels have been identified, a histogram of the pixel intently distribution is calculated 48 for the identified image region. The histogram/pixel intensity distribution is analysed 50 to determine whether the region contained anti-aliased text. The analysis identifies anti-aliased text if three criteria are satisfied, namely (i) pixels in the distribution are distributed into a specific number (e.g. 5-10) of groups, (ii) each group includes a number of intensities within a specified range (e.g., between 1-30 grey-levels), and (iii) the group containing the most pixels is either the group having the lowest intensity or the group having the highest intensity. If anti-aliased text is detected, the region is selected for optical character recognition (OCR) processing to extract the characters in the identified region. An associated apparatus and computer program product for carrying out the method are also claimed. The method is intended to enable higher accuracy optical character recognition of anti-aliased text in digital images.
