Document layout analysis (DLA) is a preprocessing step of document understanding
systems. It is responsible for detecting and annotating the physical structure of documents …

Automatic image analysis is a crucial component of many intelligent systems designed for
high-level understanding of documents. Most document image understanding systems are …

Recognizing the layout of unstructured digital documents is an important step when parsing
the documents into structured machine-readable format for downstream applications. Deep …

Scene text detection and document layout analysis have long been treated as two separate
tasks in different image domains. In this paper, we bring them together and introduce the …

Image binarization is the process of separation of pixel values into two groups, white as
background and black as foreground. Thresholding plays a major in binarization of images …

Adaptive binarization is an important first step in many document analysis and OCR
processes. This paper describes a fast adaptive binarization algorithm that yields the same …

Phishing emails usually contain a message from a credible looking source requesting a user
to click a link to a website where she/he is asked to enter a password or other confidential …

Informative benchmarks are crucial for optimizing the page segmentation step of an OCR
system, frequently the performance limiting step for overall OCR system performance. We …

This paper presents geometric algorithms for solving two key problems in layout analysis:
finding a cover of the background whitespace of a document in terms of maximal empty …

Abstract Information extraction is a fundamental task of many business intelligence services
that entail massive document processing. Understanding a document page structure in …
