 本発明は、内容が記入された帳票を画像入力して処理する帳票処理装置及び帳票処理方法及び記録媒体に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a form processing apparatus, a form processing method, and a recording medium for inputting and processing a form filled with images.
 従来の帳票処理装置である、記録媒体に記載されている文字や記号の読取、写真検出等を行うOCRやOMR、各種帳票リーダーでは、帳票に予め記載されているタイミングマークや罫線情報を利用して帳票画像全体の傾きや縮尺を検出し、予め登録されているレイアウト情報を用いて、各項目の入力画像内の記載位置を特定していた。 Conventional form processing devices such as OCR, OMR, and various form readers that read characters and symbols written on recording media, detect photos, etc., use timing marks and ruled line information previously written on the form. Thus, the inclination and scale of the entire form image are detected, and the description position in the input image of each item is specified using layout information registered in advance.

 画像入力ステップS101で、バーコード領域と処理対象領域を含む画像を入力し、S102に進む。
FIG. 2 is a control schematic diagram of the form processing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In an image input step S101, an image including a barcode area and a processing target area is input, and the process proceeds to S102.
 バーコード認識ステップS102で、画像入力ステップS101で入力した入力画像からバーコード領域を抽出してデコードし、S103に進む。検証ステップS103で、バーコード認識ステップS102の処理結果で処理対象領域画像の品質を検証し、不可であればS101に進み、可であればS104に進む。 In bar code recognition step S102, a bar code area is extracted from the input image input in image input step S101 and decoded, and the process proceeds to S103. In the verification step S103, the quality of the processing target area image is verified by the processing result of the barcode recognition step S102. If it is not possible, the process proceeds to S101, and if it is possible, the process proceeds to S104.
 処理領域特定ステップS104で、予め記憶していたバーコード領域と処理対象領域の相対位置関係を用いて、バーコード認識ステップS102で抽出したバーコード領域の位置から処理対象領域の位置を特定し、処理対象領域の位置が入力画像外に特定されていないか検証し、不可であればS101に進み、可であればS105に進む。 In the processing area specifying step S104, the position of the processing target area is specified from the position of the barcode area extracted in the barcode recognition step S102 using the relative positional relationship between the barcode area and the processing target area stored in advance. Whether the position of the processing target area is specified outside the input image is verified. If it is not possible, the process proceeds to S101, and if it is possible, the process proceeds to S105.
 領域画像抽出ステップS105で、処理領域特定ステップS104で特定した処理対象領域の位置を用いて、入力画像から処理対象領域画像を抽出し、抽出した処理対象領域画像の縮尺あるいは変形あるいは画像品質を検証し、必要であれば、領域画像補正ステップS106で処理対象領域画像を補正してS107に進み、不要であれば、補正しないでS107に進む。 In the region image extraction step S105, the processing target region image is extracted from the input image using the position of the processing target region specified in the processing region specifying step S104, and the scale or deformation of the extracted processing target region image or the image quality is verified.

 なお、各ステップは、コンピュータで実行可能なプログラムで記述されてもよい。 Note that each step may be described by a program executable by a computer.
 以下、図3(a)に示す、バーコードと項目内容が記入済みの帳票Aの入力画像を例に、動作の詳細を説明する。画像入力部101で、帳票Aをカメラで撮影すると、図3(a)に示すように傾きθ度、解像度Ddpiで画像入力された。 Hereinafter, the details of the operation will be described by taking as an example the input image of the form A in which the bar code and the item contents have been entered as shown in FIG. When the form A is photographed by the camera in the image input unit 101, the image is input with the inclination θ degree and the resolution Ddpi as shown in FIG.
 バーコード認識部102では、公知の方法でバーコード領域を抽出し、バーコード認識を行う。図4(a)にバーコード抽出結果を示す。1次元バーコードB1と2次元バーコードB2が抽出できた。 The barcode recognition unit 102 extracts a barcode area by a known method and performs barcode recognition. FIG. 4A shows the barcode extraction result. One-dimensional barcode B1 and two-dimensional barcode B2 could be extracted.
 バーコードB1の認識結果は、「a1234567890a」であった。
 バーコードB1の4角の位置は、点(XB1ST,YB1ST)(XB1ET,YB1ET)(XB1EB,YB1EB)(XB1SB,YB1SB)であった。
The recognition result of the barcode B1 was “a12345567890a”.
The four corner positions of the barcode B1 were points (XB1ST, YB1ST) (XB1ET, YB1ET) (XB1EB, YB1EB) (XB1SB, YB1SB).
 検証部103では、バーコード認識部102の処理結果で処理対象領域画像の品質を検証する。バーコードB1の認識結果が得られなかった場合は、処理対象領域の処理も難しいと判断する。 The verification unit 103 verifies the quality of the processing target area image based on the processing result of the barcode recognition unit 102. If the recognition result of the barcode B1 is not obtained, it is determined that the processing of the processing target area is difficult.
 図5(a)(b)に示す式で、バーコードB1の4角の位置から、バーコード領域の回転角度θと解像度Dを求め、解像度Dが一定の値より大きすぎたり小さすぎたりする場合は、画像入力部101と帳票Aとの距離が近すぎたり遠すぎたりするときなので、処理対象領域の縮尺を不可とする。回転角度θが大きすぎる場合は、回転によって画像が乱れる恐れがあるため処理対象領域の変形を不可とする。
 さらに、1次元バーコードB1あるいは2次元バーコードB2の形が長方形あるいは正方形でない場合は、画像入力部101が帳票Aに対してまっすぐな方向に向けられておらず、斜めになっていると考えられるので、処理対象領域の変形を不可とする。
In the equations shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the rotation angle θ and the resolution D of the barcode area are obtained from the four positions of the barcode B1, and the resolution D is too large or too small than a certain value. In this case, since the distance between the image input unit 101 and the form A is too close or too far, the scale of the processing target area is not allowed. If the rotation angle θ is too large, the image may be disturbed by the rotation, so that the process target area cannot be deformed.
Further, when the shape of the one-dimensional barcode B1 or the two-dimensional barcode B2 is not a rectangle or a square, the image input unit 101 is not directed in a straight direction with respect to the form A, but is considered to be inclined. Therefore, it is impossible to deform the processing target area.
 図5(b)式中の6cmは、予め登録されているバーコードB1領域の横幅の実測値である。また、バーコードB1の4角の位置座標の長方形度合いからバーコード領域の変形度合いを判断し、処理対象領域の変形を判断しても良い。
 バーコードB1の画像のコントラストを調べ、処理対象領域画像の品質を判断することもできる。
 検証部103で、以上の検証項目について処理対象領域画像の品質を検証し、不可であれば画像入力部101の処理に戻る。
In FIG. 5B, 6 cm is an actual measurement value of the lateral width of the barcode B1 area registered in advance. Alternatively, the degree of deformation of the barcode area may be determined from the degree of rectangle of the four corner position coordinates of the barcode B1, and the deformation of the processing target area may be determined.
It is also possible to determine the quality of the processing target region image by examining the contrast of the image of the barcode B1.
The verification unit 103 verifies the quality of the processing target region image with respect to the above verification items.
 処理領域抽出部104では、図6(a)に示すように、予めバーコード領域と処理対象領域の相対位置関係を記憶し、バーコード認識部102で抽出したバーコード領域の4角の位置から、検証部103で算出したバーコード領域の回転角度θと解像度Dを用いて、図7(a)に示す式(1)式(2)により、処理対象領域の位置を特定する。 As shown in FIG. 6A, the processing area extraction unit 104 stores the relative positional relationship between the barcode area and the processing target area in advance, and calculates the four corner positions of the barcode area extracted by the barcode recognition unit 102. Using the barcode region rotation angle θ and resolution D calculated by the verification unit 103, the position of the processing target region is specified by the equations (1) and (2) shown in FIG.
 更に、処理対象領域の位置が入力画像外に特定されていないか検証する。図中の(XA,YA)は、入力画像のサイズを示す。処理対象領域L1,L2,L3は、入力画像内であるが、L4は入力画像外であることが分かる。検証結果から、L4について処理をする場合は、画像入力部101の処理に戻る。L1について処理をする場合は、入力画像内であるので、画像を抽出する。 Furthermore, it is verified whether the position of the processing target area is specified outside the input image. (XA, YA) in the figure indicates the size of the input image. It can be seen that the processing target areas L1, L2, and L3 are inside the input image, but L4 is outside the input image. From the verification result, when processing for L4, the processing returns to the processing of the image input unit 101. When processing about L1, since it is in an input image, an image is extracted.
 図8(a)に処理対象領域L1の画像抽出結果を示す。処理対象領域L1は、θ度傾いているので、回転補正すると図8(b)に示す画像になる。 FIG. 8A shows the image extraction result of the processing target area L1. Since the processing target area L1 is inclined by θ degrees, the image shown in FIG.
 処理部105では、図6(a)予め登録されている処理対象領域の項目内容に対応した処理を行う。処理対象領域L1は、「項目:郵便」で、公知の方法で文字認識する。処理対象領域L1は、「123-4567」であった。 The processing unit 105 performs processing corresponding to the item content of the processing target area registered in advance in FIG. The processing target area L1 is “item: mail”, and character recognition is performed by a known method. The processing target area L1 is “123-4567”.
 出力部106は、バーコードB1の認識結果「a1234567890a」と処理対象領域L1の文字認識結果「123-4567」を出力する。 The output unit 106 outputs the barcode B1 recognition result “a12345567890a” and the character recognition result “123-4567” of the processing target area L1.
 かかる構成によれば、バーコード認識部と検証部と処理領域抽出部を設けることにより、バーコード認識部の処理結果から処理対象領域の画像品質を判断し、不可の場合は、処理部の処理を行うことなく、再度画像入力を行うことができる。 According to this configuration, by providing the barcode recognition unit, the verification unit, and the processing region extraction unit, the image quality of the processing target region is determined from the processing result of the barcode recognition unit. The image can be input again without performing the operation.
 また、バーコード領域の位置から処理領域の位置を特定し、入力画像外の場合は、処理部の処理を行うことなく、再度画像入力を行うことができる。 Also, the position of the processing area is specified from the position of the barcode area, and if it is outside the input image, the image can be input again without performing the processing of the processing section.
