Building Synthetic Graphical Documents for Performance Evaluation

In this paper we present a system that allows its use to build synthetic graphical documents for the performance evaluation of symbol recognition systems. The key contribution of this work is the building of whole document like drawings or maps. We exploit the layer property of graphical documents by putting symbol sets in different ways from a same background using positioning constraints. Experiments are presented to build two kinds of test document databases: bags of symbol and architectural drawings.
