ICDAR 2003 Page Segmentation Competition

چکیده
There is a significant need to objectively evaluate layout analysis (page segmentation and region classification) methods. This paper describes the Page Segmentation Competition (modus operandi, dataset and evaluation criteria) held in the context of ICDAR2003 and presents the results of the evaluation of the candidate methods. The main objective of the competition was to evaluate such methods using scanned documents from commonly-occurring publications. The results indicate that although methods seem to be maturing, there is still a considerable need to develop robust methods that deal with everyday documents.

The aim of layout analysis is to extract the geometric structure from a document image. It consists of labeling homogenous regions of a document image. This paper describes the performance of segmentation algorithms and their adaptation in order to treat complex structured Arabic documents such as newspapers. Experimental tests have been carried out on four different phases of newspaper image a...
متن کاملUsing tree-grammars for training set expansion in page classification
In this paper we describe a method for the expansion of training sets made by XY trees representing page layout. This approach is appropriate when dealing with page classification based on MXY tree page representations. The basic idea is the use of tree grammars to model the variations in the tree which are caused by segmentation algorithms. A set of general grammatical rules are defined and us...
متن کاملTwo Approaches for Text Segmentation in Web Images
There is a significant need to recognise the text in images on web pages, both for effective indexing and for presentation by non-visual means (e.g., audio). This paper presents and compares two novel methods for the segmentation of characters for subsequent extraction and recognition. The novelty of both approaches is the combination of (different in each case) topological features of characte...
متن کاملEvaluating SEE - A Benchmarking System for Document Page Segmentation
The decomposition of a document into segments such as text regions and graphics is a significant part of the document analysis process. The basic requirement for rating and improvement of page segmentation algorithms is systematic evaluation. The approaches known from the literature have the disadvantage that manually generated reference data (zoning ground truth) are needed for the evaluation ...
