Claim:
1. A system parsing text in complex graphical images, the system comprising a processor executing program instructions which cause the processor to: obtain a series of blocks of text, associated location coordinates, and bounding box data indicating a size for each block of text, from a complex graphical image; generate location scores for each of the series of blocks of text using the associated location coordinates; generate size scores for each of the series of blocks of text using the size for each of the series of blocks of text; normalize the location scores and the size scores; weight each of the location scores by multiplying by a location weighting to create a weighted location score; weight each of the size scores by multiplying by a size weighting to create a weighted size score; for each block of text of the series, sum the weighted location score and the weighted size score to derive an overall score for each block of text of the series; and identify a highest score text block associated with a highest overall score as the most likely to be a desired text block.
