Abstract: A method and computer system for translating sentences between languages from an intermediate language-independent semantic representation is provided. On the basis of comprehensive understanding about languages and semantics, exhaustive linguistic descriptions are used to analyze sentences, to build syntactic structures and language independent semantic structures and representations, and to synthesize one or more sentences in a natural or artificial language. A computer system is also provided to analyze and synthesize various linguistic structures and to perform translation of a wide spectrum of various sentence types. As result, a generalized data structure, such as a semantic structure, is generated from a sentence of an input language and can be transformed into a natural sentence expressing its meaning correctly in an output language.

Abstract: An adjustment method of a machine-readable form model and a filled form scanned image thereof in the presence of distortion comprising model form free of distortion, image form, containing distortion, obtained by optical input device from paper media. One embodiment of the method comprises the steps of assigning of one of the forms as changeable, marking on the form regions containing distortion, computing the consolidated distortion correction factor of the spatial parameters for the said changeable form, parameters correction on the base of the said consolidated factor. Another embodiment of the method setting the correspondence between identical objects of image form and model form is followed by steps of computing distortion correction factors of the spatial parameters for each object of selected level, spatial parameters correction of the changeable form, on the base of the said factors, affecting objects of the same and lower identification reliability levels.

Abstract: The invention deals with the processing of machine-readable forms of non-fixed format. It comprises the structural description of characteristics of a document elements, a method of describing the logical structure of a document, methods of searching for elements of a document with the use of the structural description. A structural description of the spatial, parametric characteristics of document elements and the logical connections between elements comprises the hierarchical logical structure of the elements, specification of an algorithm of determining the search constraints, specification of every searched element characteristics, specification of the parameters set for a compound element identification on the basis of the aggregate of its components. The method of describing the logical structure of a document and methods of searching for elements of a document are based on the use of the structural description.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an optical character recognition of machine-readable forms, and in particular to a verification of a direction of spatial orientation and a definition of a form type of the document electronic image. The goals of the invention are achieved by preliminarily assigning one or more form objects as elements composing a graphic image unambiguously defining its direction of spatial orientation. Similarly, one or more form objects are preliminarily assigned as elements composing a graphic image unambiguously defining its type. The direction of spatial orientation and the type of the form are verified via identification of said images. The models of graphic images either for verification the direction of spatial orientation or for defining the form type are stored in a special data storage means, one of the embodiment of which is form model description.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to increase reliability, correctness of objects recognition process by performing a recognized object description as a set of special standard elements along with the spatial and parametrical correlation thereof.

Abstract: A method of a pre-recognition processing is proposed for forms with non-fixed fields layout.

Abstract: System is proposed of automated document processing, comprising a document, consisting of two sections—the main section, containing data in printed character form, and the supplementary section in the machine-readable form; document forming means; document inputting means; character recognition means; main and supplementary data comparison means. Said system uses the supplementary section data to confirm the main section data.
