  • Publication number: 20220036611
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing text legibility in an electronic document are disclosed. According to certain aspects, the electronic document may include a text layer and a background layer, and an electronic device may generate a text mask comprising a set of glyphs at certain positions. The electronic device may analyze the text mask to generate an output comprising a set of bounding boxes that indicate legibility degrees of the respective glyphs included in the text mask. The electronic device may display the output for review and assessment by a user, who may use the electronic device to facilitate any modifications to the electronic document.

  • Patent number: 9020790
    Abstract: Computer-implemented electronic document design systems and methods allowing a user to integrate user-specific location maps into custom printed products. During the creation of an electronic design of a product intended for subsequent printing, user-provided location information is received by a server computer and used to generate a user map suitable for high quality printing. Lower resolution display and thumbnail versions of the map suitable for displaying to the user of the client system are generated.

  • Patent number: 9015581
    Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing a layout of a document constructed based on a template document, where the template document comprises a plurality of individually-specified components including one or more individually specified user-content components configured to receive user content from a user of the template document. An energy model of the layout of the user-content components in the user document is generated based on original positions and sizes of the user-content components in the template document. Positions of corresponding components in the user document are automatically adjusted to minimize the energy of the user-content component layout in the user document.

  • Patent number: 8588529
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and applications for detection text in a raster image include converting a raster image into a vector representation of the image, identifying pairs of shapes of similar size and within a predefined distance of one another, forming shape graphs from the identified shape pairs, identifying chains of shapes from the formed shape graphs, determining characteristic chain lines associated with the identified chains of shapes, straightening the identified chains of shapes into a straight line based on the corresponding chain lines associated with the respective identified chains of shapes, and classifying the straightened identified chains as text or non-text using an automatic text classifier.

    Abstract: Computer-implemented electronic document design systems and methods allowing a user to integrate user-specific location maps into custom printed products. During the creation of an electronic design of a product intended for subsequent printing, user-provided location information is received by a server computer and used to generate a user map suitable for high quality printing. Lower resolution display and thumbnail versions of the map suitable for displaying to the user of the client system are generated. The display version is sent to the client system for review and editing by the user. The user map, the display map, and the thumbnail are stored at the server for possible future use. The maps are created and stored with the same height to width ratio as the map area in the electronic product design into which the map will be placed. The user is provided with a cropping tool to allow the user to select the portion of the map to be incorporated into the electronic product design.
