Abstract

En 中文
In historical manuscripts, humans can detect handwritten words, lines, and decorations with lightness even if they do not know the language or the script. Yet for automatic processing this task has proven elusive, especially in the case of handwritten documents with complex layouts, which is why semiautomatic methods that integrate the human user into the process are needed. In this paper, we introduce a user-centered segmentation method based on document graphs and scribbling interaction. The graphs capture a sparse representation of the document's structure that can then be edited by the user with a stylus on a touch-sensitive screen. We evaluate the proposed method on a newly introduced database of historical manuscripts with complex layout and demonstrate, first, that the document graphs are already close to the desired segmentation and, second, that scribbling allows a natural and efficient interaction.
