Generation of images of historical documents by composition
C.A.B. Mello, Rafael Dueire Lins · 2002
This paper describes a system for efficient storage, indexing and network transmission of images of historical documents. The documents are first decomposed into their features such as paper texture, colours, typewritten parts, pictures, etc. Document retrieval forces the re-assembling of the document, synthetising an image visually close to the original document. The information needed to build the final image occupies, in average, 2 Kbytes performing a very efficient compression scheme.
