“…Form images have been represented in a large variety of ways for classification tasks (see [5] for a survey). These representations include statistics of image connected components [37], BoVW [6,24,38], OCR features [2,32,33], pyramids of average gray-scale values [18,32], Viola-Jones features [34], Hidden Tree Markov Models [10], sequences of line segments [12,20], sequence of line gap ratios [28], run length histograms [16], Shape Context Features [22], and most recently learned features from Convolutional Neural Networks [17,21,38].…”
