ABSTRACT:
A method and system generates fine-grained fingerprints for identifying content in a rendered document. It includes applying image-based techniques to identify patterns in a document rendered by an electronic document rendering system, irrespective of a file format in which the rendered document was electronically created. The applying of the image-based technique includes identifying candidate keypoints at locations in a local image neighborhood of the document, and combining the locations of the candidate keypoints to form a fine-grained fingerprint identifying patterns representing content in the document.
