DOCUMENT IMAGE ANALYSIS

edited by H Bunke (Univ. Bern), P S P Wang (Northeastern Univ.) & H Baird (AT&T Bell Labs.)

Interest in the automatic processing and analysis of document images has been rapidly increasing during the past few years. This book addresses the different subfields of document image analysis, including preprocessing and segmentation, form processing, handwriting recognition, line drawing and map processing, and contextual processing.
