Abstract

Abstract: Indexing big newspaper archives requires automatic page decomposition algorithms with high accuracy. In this paper we present our approach of automatic page decomposition algorithm developed for the First International Newspaper Segmentation contest. Our approach decomposes the newspaper image into image regions, horizontal and vertical lines, text regions and title areas. Experimental results are obtained from the data set of the contest.
