ICDAR2011 - Historical Layout Analysis Competition

(18/09/2011)

Access the competition website »

The competition focusses on historical documents, making use of a new dataset created by the IMPACT project. Historical documents are of particular interest as they pose a number of challenges and, at the same time, represent a very large proportion of printed documents in existence. With the increasing number of digitisation projects initiated by libraries world-wide, the problem of layout analysis of these documents is very topical.
