[Image-SIG] extracting pattern coordinates

[Bill Tolbert]

Is it possible to 'search' an image for a pattern? I want to locate text 
  entry boxes in a black and white bitmap and extract the coordinates. 
The text boxes would simply be rectangles.

The ultimate goal is to automatically create an html form that has text 
boxes located and sized based on the image. The image becomes a 
background image for the form.

Thanks!

Bill
