A method of preprint elimination for form images is proposed. Form images have fixed parts, such as character strings and lines. These fixed parts are called as preprint, which are not used for data entry. This dropout method is based on image subtraction and line elimination for distorted images. The location, rotation and magnification are modified for distorted form images.Character patterns and short ruled lines are eliminated by subtraction of bitmap template images. Long ruled lines are extracted and directly eliminated by using run data.
