In this paper, an automatic form information acquisition and storage system is presented. By semantic meaning analysis and registration of every kind of forms in advance, the system is able to recognize incoming forms and extract information from them automatically. An efficient form image storage method is also proposed. Instead of keeping the entire form image, this system greatly reduces the memory needed to store the form images in a database by extracting and storing user filled data images only.
