    Abstract: A method for image processing includes obtaining a mask of an image; identifying, in the mask, a first stroke segment and a second stroke segment for possible merging, wherein the first stroke segment and the second stroke segment do not overlap; calculating a plurality of merger eligibility scores for the first stroke segment and the second stroke segment; calculating an aggregate merger eligibility score for the first stroke segment and the second stroke segment based on the plurality of merger eligibility scores; and merging the first stroke segment and the second stroke segment based on the aggregate merger eligibility score.

    Abstract: A method for recognizing a binary document image as a table, pure text, or flowchart includes calculating a side profile of the image for each of the four sides, calculating a boundary removal size N corresponding to each side based on widths of lines or strokes closest to that side, and for each side, removing a boundary of size N from the document image, and re-calculating the side profile for each side after the removal. Then, based on a comparison of the side profiles and the re-calculated side profiles, the input document image is recognized as a table if all side profiles change from smooth to non-smooth, as pure text if the side profile changes are small, and as a flowchart if the original side profiles contain multiple sharp changes and wide flat regions and if the side profile changes significantly in the previously wide flat regions.

    Abstract: A method of operating a device having a screen with a display size, including: obtaining an electronic document (ED) having a text flow, multiple graphics, and a page size; calculating, during a first layout of the ED, locations for the multiple graphics on a page having the page size specified in the ED; generating a scaled version of the page having the display size by scaling the graphics and the locations, where scaling the graphics results in scaled graphics and scaling the locations results in scaled locations; placing, during a second layout of the ED, the text flow on the scaled version of the page with the scaled graphics at the scaled locations; and displaying, by the device, the scaled version of the page with the text flow and the scaled graphics at the scaled locations on the screen.
