This paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for Persian page segmentation. In the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. By high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifyi...

In this paper, we present an approach to the bootstrapping learning of a page segmentation model. The idea evolves from attempts to segment dictionaries that often have a consistent page structure, and is extended to the segmentation of more general structured documents. In cases of highly regular structure, the layout can be learned from examples of only a few pages. The system is first traine...

This paper continues the authors’ attempt to address the need for objective comparative evaluation of layout analysis methods in realistic circumstances. It describes the Page Segmentation Competition (modus operandi, dataset and evaluation criteria) held in the context of ICDAR2007 and presents the results of the evaluation of three candidate methods. The main objective of the competition was ...

A method for automatically evaluating the quality of document page segmentation algorithms is introduced. Many different zoning techniques are now available, but there exists no robust method to benchmark and evaluate them reliably. Our proposed strategy is a region-based approach, in which segmentation results are compared with manually generated "ground truth files", describing all possible c...

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...
