Abstract :
This contest aims to provide a metric giving indications on the influence of individual document analysis stages to overall end-to-end applications. Contestants are provided with a full, working pipeline which operates on a page image to extract useful information. The pipeline is built with clearly identified analysis stages (e.g. binarization, skew detection, layout analysis, OCR) that have a formalized input and output. Contestants are invited to contribute their own algorithms as an alternative to one or more of the initially provided stages. The evaluation measures the overall impact of the contributed algorithm on the final (end-of-pipeline) output.
