AutoZoningCommand Class

Summary

Detects different zones (Text, Graphic and Tables) in an image automatically. This is an important feature for OCR pre-processing to improve the recognition results. This function is useful for any application that needs to automatically separate images, tables and text within mixed raster content (MRC) images.
