Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for automatic context-based annotation by leveraging a priori knowledge from annotations in template documents. A large library of template documents may be generated and pre-processed in many implementations to identify annotations or other inclusions commonly present on documents related to or conforming to the template. Newly scanned documents may be compared to these templates, and when a similar template is identified, annotation locations and types from the template may be applied to the newly scanned document to recognize and classify annotations and inclusions. To increase efficiency and provide scalability, comparisons of scanned documents and template documents may be distributed amongst a plurality of computing devices for processing in parallel, with similarity results aggregated.

Abstract: A stormwater treatment system and method for removing sediment, chemical pollutants, and debris from stormwater runoff by utilizing bioretention practices including physical, chemical and biological processes. Stormwater is directed into a primarily open-bottomed, multi-dimensional container whereby entrained sediment and other transportable materials are filtered and treated through a media filter layer consisting of inorganic and/or organic materials. A live plant (preferably a tree) situated within the container with roots resident in the media filter layer with the ability for expansion beyond the perimeter of the container through openings in one or more sidewalls. The treated water may be further conveyed beyond the perimeter of the container by additional openings and/or piping. A vertically positioned overflow/bypass/clean out piping apparatus may be included within the stormwater treatment system to provide additional water conveyance.
