Hypotheses for Phone elements

Reference for Phone element hypotheses in FlexiLayout Studio: properties such as Number, Prefix, surrounding rect, pre-search and post-search quality.

FlexiLayout Studio formulates Phone hypotheses by considering the Phone objects detected during pre-recognition and having the format specified in the corresponding Phone element.

Phone hypothesis properties

A Phone hypothesis has the following properties:

Property	Description
Element name	The full name of the element.
Page	The number of the page on which the element was detected.
Surrounding rect	The coordinates of the rectangle which surrounds the region of the hypothesis.
Width	The width of the region of the hypothesis.
Height	The height of the region of the hypothesis.
Number	The detected telephone number.
Prefix	The found phone prefix.
Prefix rect	The coordinates of the rectangle which surrounds the region of the phone prefix.
Detected	Shows whether the object described by the element has been found (true) or whether a null hypothesis has been formulated (false).
From the best path	Shows whether the found hypothesis belongs to the best path in the tree of hypotheses (true) or not (false).
Pre-search quality	How well the hypothesis matches the properties of the element specified by the settings in the Properties dialog box and by the code in the Advanced pre-search relations field.
Post-search quality	The quality of the hypothesis after the conditions in the Advanced post-search relations field have been applied.
Chain quality	The 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 the subelements in the chain and is used to compare rival chains of hypotheses.
