Document Analysis and Recognition

The Document Analysis and Recognition topic is an application domain the Image Processing and Pattern Recognition team regularly contributes to. More specifically, we recently addressed the following challenges:

  • structured information extraction from historical document images
  • identity and administrative document authentication
  • mobile document image acquisition
  • metrics and performance evaluation
