Automatic script identification from document images using cluster-based templates
Judy Hochberg, P. Kelly, Timothy R. Thomas, L. Kerns · IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence · 1997
We describe an automated script identification system for typeset document images. Templates for each script are created by clustering textual symbols from a training set. Symbols from new images are compared to the templates to find the best script. Our current system processes thirteen scripts with minimal preprocessing and high accuracy.
