Complex layout analysis based on contour classification and morphological operations
Article No.: 32, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
In this paper, a technique appropriate for document image layout analysis is presented. The technique is appropriate for colored and complex layouts of newspapers and journals. It is a hybrid technique that makes use of the contour classification method and also applies morphological operators. Detailed experiments on 2000 scanned images from newspapers gave an accuracy of more than 95% while the computational cost per page is less than a half second.

Complex layout analysis based on contour classification and morphological operations
In this paper, a hybrid technique for complex layout analysis is presented. Morphological operations are applied to both the foreground and the background, in order to connect neighboring regions and detect separator lines and columns respectively. ...
