Abstract :
In this contribution we consider the construction of hyperdocuments; converting scanned paper documents into electronic hypertext. Hyperlink creation is automated by analyzing the structure and content of the scanned document. The focus is on hyperlinks between the text and labels in a picture. A number of tools for such hyperlink detection are described. Practical results are presented
