COVER
From the program chairs:
The layout analysis of scanned paper documents has reached such a level
of maturity that we are now
in the position to move on and explore the wealth of applications
arising when we are able to interpret
the layout information in a meaningful way. This workshop
aims to provide an impetus to this developing field.
We have presentations ranging from the state-of-the-art in layout
analysis to applications pushing the limits of
current technology. Through discussion sessions, a basis for
further work and collaboration is to emerge.
Standardization, as proposed by several authors, will not
only enhance such collaboration, but also
provide the means to make document layout interpretation a solid
and recurring topic in the ICDAR’99
context. It might also open the way to extend the scope of layout
interpretation to other, non-paper
based, documents.
It is our hope that the workshop will stimulate cooperative follow-on
activities
that will accelerate the pace of research in document layout interpretation
and its applications.
We would like to thank the participants for their positive impact
on the workshop, the discussion chairs
for hosting the sessions and for providing the summaries, and finally
all member of the organizing
commitee for their active participation.
