Abstract
Systems and methods for extracting information from a sheet of material to facilitate organization of information from paper, and other physical writing surfaces are provided. An example system includes a sheet of material and a device for scanning the sheet with an optical sensor. The sheet of material includes an indication region. The indication region allows for indictors to be marked corresponding with at least one a corresponding subregion to be extracted. The sheet of material further includes at least one fiducial mark for identifying a boundary of the sheet. The device includes a processor operably coupled to the optical sensor for causing the optical sensor to scan the sheet and detect a boundary thereof using the fiducial marks and further identify a designated subregion of the sheet. Upon identification of the designated subregion, the processor is configured to extract information contained in the designated subregion for organization of information.
