The Form Identification technology is what allows you to recognize what type of module can be associated with a certain image.

This is possible thanks to a preliminary phase of learning in which the system learns to recognize the different types of modules that must be processed.

Later then the system will not only be able to indicate what kind is the form processed, but also bring some additional information that will improve the data capture, such as the horizontal and vertical offsets, the angle of rotation, the angle of inclination and the scale factor compared to the prototype of the form to which it was sent learning.

In this last case not only talking Form of Identification but of Form Identification & Alignment.

Another recent development of this technology was called Form Locator.

As the name suggests, this technology allows you to automatically locate and extract a specific sub-area, with known layout within documents and forms, with any layout, in which it is contained, in whatever position it is found.

The extreme flexibility of this system is that it is able to do this even if the element to be searched is rotated, enlarged or reduced from the original sample that you would expect to find! In addition, thanks to innovative algorithms implemented, the system can operate correctly even in the presence of partial occlusion or partial cancellation of the area to be searched.

To clarify the scope of application, it is convenient to use concrete examples. Think of the stickers that are pasted on the correspondence before it returns to the sender and marked with the reason for non delivery. Recogniform FormLocator™, you can be able to locate and extract the image area that contains the adhesive, also may have been placed in any position and in any orientation.

But think also of the stamps are affixed to the signature protocol that incoming documents. Thanks to Recogniform FormLocator™, it is possible to be able to locate and extract the image area that contains this timbre, always irrespective of the position and the orientation in which it is located. And again, think of the photocopies of identity cards and/or fiscal code. Thank Recogniform FormLocator™, can be able to locate and extract the image area that contains the only photocopied document, front and back separately, exactly as if it were cut by hand.

In short, thanks to the flexibility of the solution, the fields of application are very numerous. Obviously it is possible to verify the only presence of an area with the refined structure, and, once the area of ​​interest has been localized and extracted from the entire image, use it to perform any operation of data capture to capture the accuracy of the information contained therein.

Example of use of the technology Recogniform FormLocator™: the sticker pasted on the envelopes, randomly located and oriented in a different way, it is automatically detected, extracted and normalized so that they can be treated as a normal sub-module, although content within another document.
