Document Image Segmentation Using a 2D Conditional Random Field Model

This work relates to the implementation of a 2D conditional random field model in the context of document image analysis. Our model makes it possible to take variability into account and to integrate contextual knowledge, while taking benefit from machine learning techniques. Experiments on handwritten drafts of Flaubert show that these models provide interesting solutions.
