Overview

The ability to understand the content and structure of documents as well as text that appears in the form of handwriting or scene text is critical for intelligent systems to operate and interact with humans. With advances from research in the past few decades, the area has moved from solutions that work with highly restricted data to real-world degraded noisy document images and those acquired using hand-held cameras or handwriting data captured by mobile devices. The third workshop on document analysis and recognition aims to provide a platform for researchers to present techniques for solving such problems and interact with their peers in academia and industry. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Text Recognition, including from video sources
  • Document Layout Analysis and Understanding
  • Historical and Degraded Document Analysis
  • Multilingual Document Recognition
  • Document Image Compression
  • Camera-captured Document Analysis
  • Handwriting Recognition Technologies
  • Writer/style Identification, Adaptation
  • Document Image Retrieval
  • Datasets, Performance evaluation and Metrics

The workshop will be held on Monday, December 19, 2016 in conjunction with the tenth Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing (ICVGIP) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India. We invite researchers to submit their unpublished papers describing high-quality and original research in various application areas of document image analysis and recognition. In addition to contributory research papers, the workshop will also host invited talks.

The papers accepted and presented in this workshop will be published by Springer LNCS. The manuscript for submission should be prepared according to Springer LNCS format. The length of the manuscript should not exceed 12 pages as per LNCS format.
