Abstract: This paper presents new system for document image retrieval, based on layout-analysis. The system, that is well suited for commercial form retrieval, uses Radon Transform for layout description and Dynamic Time Warping for document image matching. The experimental results, that were conducted using real and simulated data sets, demonstrate the proposed approach is effective and robust with respect to different classes of commercial forms and shifted/rotated document images.
