Ilya Oparin, Juliette Kahn, Olivier Galibert · 2014
This paper presents the results of the first Maurdor evaluation campaign. This campaign aims at evaluating the complete chain of scanned document image processing. It has a modular structure that includes page segmentation and zone classification, identification of writing type and language, optical character recognition and revealing logical structure of a document. This campaign is based on a unique corpus of 8,000 images of scanned documents annotated at different levels. Presentation of the results of the first campaign is important to assess the state-of-the-art and create common references both for participants in future campaigns and, as the scoring tools are publicly available, for independent tests.
