An automatic system for extracting figure-caption pair from medical documents: a six-fold approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Figures and captions in medical documentation contain important information. As a result, researchers are becoming more interested in obtaining published medical figures from medical papers and utilizing the captions as a knowledge source.

Methods

This work introduces a unique and successful six-fold methodology for extracting figure-caption pairs. The A-torus wavelet transform is used to retrieve the first edge from the scanned page. Then, using the maximally stable extremal regions connected component feature, text and graphical contents are isolated from the edge document, and multi-layer perceptron is used to successfully detect and retrieve figures and captions from medical records. The figure-caption pair is then extracted using the bounding box approach. Th
