As a result of a hypothesis being formulated, an element region is indicated on the image. An element region is a region on the image consisting of an interconnected set of rectangles around an object detected on the image. The region for the null hypothesis is the entire element search region. The search region may contain several objects that suit the element description, and a hypothesis can be formulated for each one. A formulated element hypothesis is displayed on the Tree of Hypotheses pane and has the following properties:

​
Hypothesis Properties

PropertyDescription
Element nameThe full name of the element.
PageThe number of the page on which the element was detected.
Surrounding rectThe coordinates of the rectangle which surrounds the region of the hypothesis.
Width x HeightThe width and height of the region of the hypothesis.
DetectedShows whether the object described by the element has been found (True) or whether a null hypothesis has been formulated (False).
From the best pathShows whether the found hypothesis belongs to the best path in the tree of hypotheses (True) or not (False).
Search Conditions qualityHow well the hypothesis matches the properties of the element specified either explicitly or using additional search area conditions (Code Editor panel, Search Conditions section).
Hypotheses Evaluation qualityHow well the hypothesis matches the additional hypothesis precision conditions (Code Editor pane, Hypotheses Evaluation section).
Chain qualityThe current 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 subelements in the chain and is used to compare rival chains of hypotheses.
