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

In document image analysis, segmentation is the task that identifies the regions of a
document. The increasing number of applications of document analysis requires a good …

We survey the optical character recognition (OCR) literature with reference to the Urdu-like
cursive scripts. In particular, the Urdu, Pushto, and Sindhi languages are discussed, with the …

Variations in inter-line gaps and skewed or curled text-lines are some of the challenging
issues in segmentation of handwritten text-lines. Moreover, overlapping and touching text …

In this paper we present a language independent global method for automatic text line
extraction. The proposed approach computes an energy map of a text image and …

This paper presents a method for text line segmentation of challenging historical manuscript
images. These manuscript images contain narrow interline spaces with touching …

We propose a novel algorithm for automatic text line extraction on color and gray scale
manuscript pages without prior binarization. Our algorithm is based on seam carving to …

Text-line extraction in handwritten documents is an important step for document image
understanding, and a number of algorithms have been proposed to address this problem …

In this paper, we present a novel language-independent algorithm for extracting text-lines
from handwritten document images. Our algorithm is based on the seam carving approach …
