ISIFormReader
ISIFormReader
is a model driven form processing system. It provides a graphical interface to
select the particular layout from an existing list or to design the same for a
new form type. Since this form processing system does not recognize the layout
automatically, it has the advantages of less computational load and more
accuracy. On the other hand, this approach does not affect the purpose of
automation.
The
performance of ISIFormReader has been tested on the ISI Form Database.
The present database largely consists of application forms of the
admission
tests of the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. There are 1950 such real-life
filled-in form samples. Additionally, this database also consists of 25 samples
of application forms for each of Indian Passport, BSNL mobile connection and
Union Public Service Commission Examination of India. However, these latter
three categories of samples were collected in our laboratory environment.
Results of
the above simulation show that ISIFormReader could extract all the data from
all of the 75 forms of the latter types collected in our laboratory
environment. However, its performance on the real-life forms is significantly poor.
Further detailed analysis showed that writer idiosyncratic responses on these
real-life forms are the major source of errors and a proper designing of both the
data extraction and recognition modules are essential for an improvement of its
performance.

screenshots of a DEMO VERSION of ISIFormReader are shown below.
