Abstract

With an aim to high-level understanding of the mathematicalcontents in a document image the requirement ofmath-zone extraction and recognition technique is obvious.In this paper we present fully auotmatic segmentation ofdisplayed-math zones from the document image, using onlythe spatial layout information of math-formulas and equations,so as to help commercial OCR systems which cannotdiscern math-zones and also for the identification and arrangementof math symbols by others.
