Summary :

This paper discusses the role of knowledge in document image understanding from the viewpoints of representation, utilization and acquisition. For the representation of knowledge, we propose two models, a layout model and a content model, which represent knowledge about the layout structure and content of a document, respectively. For the utilization of knowledge, we implement layout analysis and content analysis which utilize a layout model and a content model, respectively. The strategy of hypothesis generation and verification is introduced in order to integrate these two kinds of analysis. For the acquisition of knowledge, we propose a method of incremental acquisition of a layout model from a stream of example documents. From the experimental results of document image understanding and knowledge acquisition using 50 samples of visiting cards, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
