Document Layout Interpretation and its Applications

This forum is an outgrowth of the Document Layout Interpretation and its Applications (DLIA) workshop held at the ICDAR'99 conference in Bangalore.  We have created this web site and the DLIA eGroup to stimulate the continued development of an active research community in document layout interpretation.

This site provides a central repository of information, source code, demos and datasets for researchers in the field of document layout interpretation.  This page is a new resource, and will continue to evolve and expand in the near future.  If you would like to have a link to your page from this site, please email Andrew Bagdanov.

While this site acts as a repository of information, the DLIA eGroup is an active forum for open discussion of current research topics.  If you are interested in document layout interpretation, please consider joining and participating in the DLIA eGroup.  You can join the discussion list by entering you email address in the form below:
