Proposal of a Method for Automatic Fill-in Fields Detection and for Labels Assignment to Generate Electronic Forms

The digitalization of forms is being promoted.One of the effective ways to manage contents filled in fields is using electronic forms.Several tools have been developed to generate them automatically.However, when you use a paper form, the layout of the original form may change, and it takes time to generate electronic one because it is necessary to place fill-in fields on an electronic form by dragging with a mouse.This paper proposes a method for automatic fill-in fields detection and labels assignment to reduce time required to place fill-in fields without changing the layout.The proposed method can reduce the time to place fill-in fields.
