| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Element name | The full name of the element. |
| Page | The number of the page on which the element was detected. |
| Surrounding rect | The coordinates of the rectangle which surrounds the region of the hypothesis. |
| Width | The width of the region of the hypothesis. |
| Height | The height of the region of the hypothesis. |
| Day | The day in the detected date. |
| Month | The month in the detected date. |
| Year | The year in the detected date. |
| Detected | Shows whether the object described by the element has been found (true) or whether a null hypothesis has been formulated (false). |
| From the best path | Shows whether the found hypothesis belongs to the best path in the tree of hypotheses (true) or not (false). |
| Pre-search quality | How well the hypothesis matches the properties of the element specified by the settings in the Properties dialog box and by the code in the Advanced pre-search relations field. |
| Post-search quality | The quality of the hypothesis after the conditions in the Advanced post-search relations field have been applied. |
| Chain quality | The quality of the chain of hypotheses, from the first subelement of the group to the current subelement. Chain quality is calculated by multiplying the qualities of all the subelements in the chain and is used to compare rival chains of hypotheses. |
How hypotheses are generated and assessed
Hypotheses for Date elements
The program formulates Date hypotheses by considering the dates detected in the search area if they are written in the specified format. The expected format of the date is set in the element’s properties.
A Date hypothesis has the following properties:
