UW-ISL Document Image Analysis Toolbox: An Experimental Environment

A document image analysis toolbox, including a collection of data structures and algorithms to suppbrt a variety of applications, is described in this paper. An experimental environment is built to allow developers to develop, test and optimize their algorithms and systems. Appropriate and quantitative performance metrics for each kind of information a document analysis technique infers have been developed, The performance of each algorithm has been evaluatd based on these metrics and the UW-III document image database which contains a total of 1600 English document images randomly selected from scientific and technical journals.
