Because of the complexity of documents and the variety of applications which must be supported, document understanding requires the integration of image understanding with text understanding. Our document understanding technology is implemented in a system called IDUS (Intelligent Document Understanding System), which creates the data for a text retrieval application and the automatic generation of hypertext links. This paper summarizes the areas of research during IDUS development where we have found the most benefit from the integration of image and text understanding.
