Abstract

There is a significant need to objectively evaluatelayout analysis (page segmentation and regionclassification) methods. This paper describes the PageSegmentation Competition (modus operandi, dataset andevaluation criteria) held in the context of ICDAR2003and presents the results of the evaluation of the candidatemethods. The main objective of the competition was toevaluate such methods using scanned documents fromcommonly-occurring publications. The results indicatethat although methods seem to be maturing, there is still aconsiderable need to develop robust methods that dealwith everyday documents.
