ImageGear for .NET
Auto-Zoning

The automatic page-layout decomposition process (auto-zoning) can be activated directly by calling the ImGearRecZoneCollection.Locate Method for finding text blocks on the image. It creates an entire zone list for the given image.

The Locate Method has an overload that takes an ImGearRectangle as a parameter. This rectangle serves to limit the area of the image inside which zones will be searched and defined.

The recognition engine offers three different algorithms to be applied during auto-zoning: use the ImGearRecRecognitionSettings.DecompMethod Property to specify which Page parser algorithm setting should be applied during auto-zoning from among the following:

In addition, the integrating application can set the zoning method to AUTO. With this setting, the recognition engine determines the method to use. See ImGearRecDecompositionMethod Enumeration for details.

Applying the new STANDARD algorithm results in the best throughput in overall accuracy, though in some cases it might require significantly more time to complete.

When auto-zoning is used, each resulting zone is initialized with the following:

All zones created by this method will have the following:

Any zone can be locally overridden with the Zones Property of ImGearRecPage, which allows you to access the zone list and change the attributes of a zone.
