A Modular Framework for the Automatic Reconstruction of Shredded Documents
نویسنده
چکیده
The unshredding problem is of interest in various domains such as forensics, investigative sciences and archeology, and has therefore been approached in many different ways. This paper tries to bridge the gap between previous, disparate, efforts by proposing a modular, probabilistic, solution. Novel approaches to two of the independent subproblems are presented and shown to both have good theoretical properties and to empirically outperform previously published methods.

Semi-Automatic Reconstruction of Cross-Cut Shredded Documents
We propose a new approach for cross-cut shredded document reconstruction and evaluate it on the DARPA Shredder Challenge dataset. We begin by pre-processing chads. A set of costs based on shape (gaps, overlaps, edge similarity), graphical content (ruling line alignment, text line alignment), and semantic content (character and letter combinations) is calculated and used to rank putative chad ma...

متن کاملReconstructing Shredded Documents
This project looks at the challenges involved in the automatic reconstruction of strip (vertically cut) and cross (both vertically and horizontally cut) shredded documents. The unshredding problem is of interest in the fields of forensics, investigative sciences, and archaeology. All stages of the unshredding pipeline are analysed, starting from scanned images of shreds and ending with reconstr...
متن کاملReconstructing shredded documents through feature matching.
We describe a procedure for reconstructing documents that have been shredded by hand, a problem that often arises in forensics. The proposed method first applies a polygonal approximation in order to reduce the complexity of the boundaries and then extracts relevant features of the polygon to carry out the local reconstruction. In this way, the overall complexity can be dramatically reduced bec...
متن کاملA Memetic Algorithm for Reconstructing Cross-Cut Shredded Text Documents
The reconstruction of destroyed paper documents became of more interest during the last years. On the one hand it (often) occurs that documents are destroyed by mistake while on the other hand this type of application is relevant in the fields of forensics and archeology, e.g., for evidence or restoring ancient documents. Within this paper, we present a new approach for restoring cross-cut shre...
