Abstract
Techniques are disclosed to identify a form document in an image using a digital fingerprint of the form document. To do so, the image is evaluated to detect features of the image and determine a polygon bounding each feature. For each polygon, pixels are plotted in a second image based on coordinates of a center of the polygon. The second image is the digital fingerprint of the form. To identify the form corresponding to the digital fingerprint, the digital fingerprint may be compared to digital fingerprints of known forms.
