The PARC Perceptual Document Analysis Area is focused on identifying visual structure in document images in support of targeted applications mixing formal and informal, scanned and electronic documents. |

Meaning in documents is conveyed not only through text content, but also through visual structure reflected in layout, fonts, graphics, diagrams, logos, and annotations.
Our goal is to develop a technology base for perceptually-enabled applications making use of image content, especially in document images. Applications include organization and extraction of data items from business documents, perceptually supported interactive tools, as well as services integrated with document capture devices such as document scanner/printers, and pen/stylus computers.
PDA's technology base is scientifically rooted in the disciplines of Perceptual Organization and Pattern Recognition. Document images are an especially ripe domain in which to implement the Gestalt laws and other approaches to visual perception.

One of our application projects is the ScanScribe document image editor. |
