Identification of Document Types from Various Kinds of Document Images Based on Physical and Layout Features

When we develop a general purpose document image understanding system, it is important, as the first step, to distinguish individual documents. We propose an approach which first classifies document images into some distinct types and then interprets them exactly by using an appropriate document model. In this paper, we define groups of documents and describe the classification method based on the verification mechanism by using physical and layout features of documents. Also, we show the experimental result in our method.
