We present an interactive method to restore severely damaged historical parchments. When damaged by heat in a fire, such manuscripts undergo a complex deformation and contain various geometric distortions such as wrinkling, buckling, and shrinking, rendering them nearly illegible. They cannot be physically flattened due to the risk of further damage. We propose a virtual restoration framework t...

Historical documents contain facts that family history enthusiasts are interested in extracting. In addition to fact extraction, organizing these facts into disambiguated entity records is also of interest. This paper shows how facts from an excerpt of a page in an OCRed book can be gathered automatically with some expert knowledge.
