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- structured information extraction from historical document images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
