Place Zone

Result Processor Grooper.Extract

Places a zone (region) relative to each output instance for downstream extraction or processing.

Remarks

The Place Zone result processor defines a geometric region on the page, relative to each output instance, and outputs a new instance with its location set to this region. This is commonly used to define zones for subsequent OCR, data extraction, or validation steps.

How It Works

  • For each input instance, Place Zone calculates a region based on the 'Region' and 'RelativeTo' properties.
  • If 'Auto Snap Distance' is set, the region is adjusted to align with detected lines (such as form borders) using the auto snap feature.
  • The output instance's location is set to the resulting region, which can then be used by downstream extractors or processors.

Configuration Guidance

  • Use 'Region' to define the size and shape of the zone relative to each instance.
  • Set 'RelativeTo' to control which edge or corner of the instance the region is anchored to.
  • Enable and configure 'Auto Snap Distance' and 'Auto Snap Margin' to align the zone with document lines and fine-tune its size.

Usage Notes

  • PlaceZone is ideal for workflows where extraction or validation must occur in a specific area near a detected value, such as extracting a value from a form field or validating the presence of a signature.
  • Proper configuration of the region and snapping options is essential for accurate results.
