ABSTRACT:
A system for producing a raster image derived from coded and non-coded portions of a hybrid data structure from an input bitmap including (1) a data processing apparatus, (2) a recognizer which performs recognition on an input bitmap to the data processing apparatus to detect identifiable objects within the input bitmap, (3) a mechanism for producing a hybrid data structure including coded data corresponding to the identifiable objects and non-coded data derived from portions of the input bitmap which do not correspond to the identifiable objects, and (4) an output device capable of developing a visually perceptible raster image derived from the hybrid data structure. The raster image includes raster images of the identifiable objects and raster images derived from portions of the input bitmap that do not correspond to the identifiable objects. This includes a method for producing a hybrid data structure for a bitmap of an image having the steps of: (1) inputting a signal comprising a bitmap into a digital processing apparatus, (2) partitioning the bitmap into a hierarchy of lexical units, (3) assigning labels to a label list for each lexical unit of a predetermined hierarchical level, where labels in the label list have an associated confidence level, and (4) storing each lexical unit in a hybrid data structure as either an identifiable object or a non-identifiable object.
