Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) - Step 4: Layout Analysis

Authors
Topics:

This tutorial (blogpost and video) explains how Automatic Text Recognition technology identifies the structural elements of a document and localises text lines, processes also known as segmentation, zoning, or document analysis. Gain insights into optical layout analysis, essential for efficiently processing and understanding heritage texts with ATR.

Learning Outcome

After completing this resource, learners will be able to:

  • Distinguish between different methods of layout analysis including zoning and segmentation.
  • Utilise software tools to perform optical layout analysis effectively.
  • Analyse the structural elements of a document to facilitate accurate text extraction.
  • Configure ATR systems to recognise and process various document layouts.

You can read the blogpost (available in English, French, and German), and watch our video (with subtitles in English, French, and German) embedded in the post.
