Information retrieval needs to match relevant texts with a given query. Selecting appropriate parts is useful when documents are long, and only portions are interesting to the user...
This paper presents an Enhanced Heuristic Segmenter (EHS) and an improved neural-based segmentation technique for segmenting cursive words and validating prospective segmentation ...
Word segmentation is a crucial step for segmentation-free document analysis systems and is used for creating an index based on word matching. In this paper, we propose a novel met...
We describe a new approach for evaluating page segmentation algorithms. Unlike techniques that rely on OCR output, our method is region-based: the segmentation output, described a...
In this paper, we propose a word shape recognition method for retrieving image-based documents. Document images are segmented at the word level first. Then the proposed method det...
