Automatic Ground-truth Generation for Document Image Analysis and Understanding

Performance evaluation for document image analysis and understanding is a recurring problem. Many ground- truthed document image databases are now used to evaluate algorithms, but these databases are less useful for the design of a complete system in a precise context. This paper proposes an approach for the automatic generation of synthesised document images and associated ground-truth information based on a derivation of publishing tools. An implementation of this approach illustrates the richness of the produced information.
