ABSTRACT:
A method for segmenting a compound document initiates with receiving image data, followed by processing the image data at both a first scale and a second scale. Next, region types of the compound document are determined according to a combination of processing output at the first scale and processing output at the second scale. Methods for labeling digital image data and labeling and enhancing documents defined through digital data, as well as associated computer readable medium embodiments are provided. An image replication device and a microprocessor configured to segment and enhance image data associated with a compound document are also provided.
