INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR) PROCESSING ON IMAGE DATA AND CONVERTING IMAGE DATA TO DOCUMENT DATA

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a specific pattern storage unit, a pattern comparing unit, a character recognizing unit, and a file generating unit. The specific pattern storage unit stores specific pattern information in which a specific pattern is registered. The pattern comparing unit compares the image data with a specific pattern that is registered in the specific pattern information by image matching and determines whether or not the specific pattern present in the image data is detected, and when detected, deletes the specific pattern from the image data and outputs pattern-deleted image data. The character recognizing unit performs an OCR process on the pattern-deleted image data, converts a character string in the pattern-deleted image data into text data, and outputs the converted text data as an OCR analysis result. The file generating unit generates document data based on the OCR analysis result.
