Experience:
CAPSILON PROGRAMMER ANALYST JUNE ‘05 – TILL PRESENT
Product Development for Mortgage Industry
Capsilon is a San Diego, California-based Technology Company engaged in developing products for Mortgage Industry. The aim of the company is to automate the document processing eliminating paper based processing. It involves machine based Classification of document images/PDF and extraction of desired information.
PROJECT: PDF PROCESSING
PDF is becoming increasingly important as it gives great visual experience of document and saves the storage space and imposed security by encrypting (optional). And to this lots of file formats can be easily converted to or from it. PDF is the file format build by Adobe corp. and it is universally accepted. Adobe has released the format specification of the PDF so everybody can understand it and use it to read/create PDF documents following the copy right act.
Since the format is available open for all to understand lots of PDF creator exists in the market, which also converts other format files to PDF format. To use all such kinds of PDFs to convert to required format output and extract out the desired information from it one needs to have a thorough knowledge of PDF file format.
PDF contains text, graphics, images, annotation etc. One can Extract all such information using a suitable PDF parsing library. XPDF is such PDF parsing library which with the knowledge of PDF file format can produce any application based on PDF (viewer, writer, finder, and converter). Learned the PDF file format and XPDF source code. Involved in the development of various PDF based components. Oracle database is used for storage of PDF files and lots of related information with them. Oracle c++ call interface is used to connect to the database for retrieving and updating the information after processing. . Used a configuration XML file to read some configuration parameter. Xerces is used for the parsing the configuration files.
Title: PDF Parsing to get text and other graphical objects (Check Boxes).
There are three types of PDF. First information contained are in ASCII format (Native), Second Image type and Third mixture of both. To process PDF documents of First kind for “classification” and “extraction of values”, one needs to parse the PDF. Developed a parser library, which parses the PDF and puts the text information along with the relative co-ordinates.
Lots of Application requires information of the Layout of the PDF and graphical objects contained in it. Some of the graphical objects are of special meaning. One of these is Check boxes. PDF contains this check box information in various types of graphical object. Task was to discover these types and than successfully extract it and there meaning and context. Using the Xpdf source code, developed a component library for detection of various types of Check Boxes (OMR boxes) and their status in a Native PDF file. Application uses STL map, multimap, set and vectors extensively
Title: Conversion of PDF to TIFF
TIFF is a file format for Images. Using Xpdf and libtiff source code libraries, designed and developed a PdfToTiff Conversion component. This also supports various types of compressions and Color schemes, i.e. (2, 4, 8, 16, 24 bit color, gray and bitonal). It also supports multi-page Tiff output.(It is a multi-threaded component, ZThread library is used for multi-threading.)
Title: Conversion of PDF to PNG.
PNG is a Image file format for transferring and displaying the image over internet. Using Xpdf and libpng source code libraries designed and developed a PdfToPNG Conversion component. This also supports various types of compressions and Color schemes, i.e. (2, 4, 8, 16, 24 bit color, gray and bitonal). (It is a multi-threaded component, ZThread library is used for multi-threading.)
