Abstract
A computer-implemented method for digitizing a document, wherein the document has assigned a classification scheme may be provided. A digital image and an identifier of the classification scheme may be received, the image representing a portion of the document. A segmentation of the image may be determined into one or more image segments; for each of the image segments, content information may be captured from the image segment and a category may be assigned to the image segment, the category being selected from the classification scheme. One or more digitization segments may be selected from the segmentation. A graph model of the document may be populated, wherein each of the digitization segments is represented by a segment node of the graph model.
