Extracting the Major Form Body Segment from Unconstrained Document Images

Abstract In the analysis of any unconstrained document image it is necessary to first decide what the main area of interest is. Previous work has been done on simply removing the margins. In this paper we detail a more intensive approach to finding the main area of interest, what we call the Major Form Body Segment. We give a novel approach for determining which connected components are or are not part of the Major Form Body Segment.
