How does image analysis work in contract management?

In the contract analysis process developed by Dilitrust, everything often begins with image analysis. Indeed, the majority of the documents we process are scanned documents in which the text is not directly accessible. It is therefore necessary to go through an image analysis stage which aims to solve the following problems:

• extract text from the image (Optical Character Recognition or OCR);
• extract important visual elements such as initials, signatures or stamps;
• understand the reading order of the document, particularly necessary for multi-column documents.

Although these different tasks may appear to be quite different, they actually use similar analysis techniques. In this article, you will learn about analysis techniques and their practical application in contract management.
