Abstract
A method and device for automatically classifying document hardcopy images by using document hardcopy image descriptors are provided. The method and device include providing a document hardcopy image, the document hardcopy image having image features, extracting image descriptors by a first set of image descriptor extractors, each image descriptor of the image descriptors being descriptive of the image features of the document hardcopy image, estimating class probabilities of the document hardcopy image by multiple trained classifiers based on the image descriptors, determining a most probable class of the document hardcopy image by a trained meta-classifier based on the class probabilities estimated by the multiple trained classifiers, inputting the document hardcopy image and the most probable class of the document hardcopy image to an assigner, and assigning, by the assigner, the most probable class determined by the trained meta-classifier to the document hardcopy image to obtain a classified document hardcopy image.
