Abstract :
Book documents usually have consistent typographies throughout the whole book, including headers, footers, columns, text line directions, and fonts used in the each level of headings. Such document-level typography information is of great value for downstream document processing applications. This paper presents a document analysis system that can extract a comprehensive set of typographies used in book documents. The system consists of several components: recognition of fonts used in the body text and chapter headings; detection of page body area, headers and footers; detection of columns, text line direction and line spacing of body text. Page-association is employed in the system. The preliminary experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system.
