What is Automated Text and Tabular Data Extraction from Scanned Document Images about?

Currently, many businesses are using a manual approach for digitization of paper-based documents. This is a long and error-prone process and can be significantly sped up by automating the data extraction from the scanned documents. The automation will also significantly reduce the time and effort needed for the data extraction and can be a valuable opportunity for an organization to reduce costs. A solution is proposed which makes use of open-source components that can automate this process with minimal user input. The solution is also capable of handling common problems with images such as image skew and rotation caused by scanning the page at a slight angle or incorrect orientation respectively, along with watermark removal for improved extraction accuracy. It also handles full text pages along with forms or tabular data. The extraction of these can be performed with the help of a configuration file which contains keywords that help in identifying the fields in a form and map them into a structured format, which can be saved as XML and can be used for loading into a database system.
