Interactive Document Processing and Digital Libraries

We explore connections between digital libraries and interactive document image analysis. Digital libraries can provide useful data and metadata for research in automated document image analysis, and allow unbiased testing of DIA algorithms. With these goals in mind, we suggest criteria for constructing and evaluating interactive DIA tools. Discussion We consider some involuted relationships between digital libraries and document image and content analysis.1 Exploiting these relationships may accelerate all-around progress. Although we have worked on pieces of these puzzles for many years, we are acutely aware of the need for input by researchers with different backgrounds to channel further research. The questions we propose to explore are the following.
