Configuring Recognition
Overview
Recognition fields and free-form searches are configured using Definer. The main
view in Definer is used to configure the fields to read; the Free-form Processing
window is used to configure the data searches. The user interface creates both a
definition file (containing the fields) and a Recognition script file (containing the
searches) that both need to be assigned in the Recognition setup dialog.
This chapter will work through configuring the example processed in the Processing
Tutorial .
Recognition Configuration Methodology
Free-form data can be captured from variable document images to a high degree of
accuracy.
The typical process to recognize a document (which Recognition does every time it
runs) is as follows:
Step 1: Recognition of fields.
Step 2: Search for data.
Step 3: Analysis and output of data.
Step 1: Recognition of Fields
Fields can be in a specific location on a document or can cover whole pages. Fields
can be “cleaned” (despeckled and background elements removed) prior to
segmentation into characters and the actual recognition.
