A novel system is described that significantly enhances the usefulness of handwritten notes taken during a presentation by creating a multimedia document that includes scanned images of handouts, personal notes, and links to a multimedia recording of the presentation. Notes are linked to the e-presentation media with automatic content analysis without any special notes capture device. Layout segmentation and template matching automatically detects the presence of presentation handouts during scanning. Presentation-level and slide-level linking of handouts to e-media use text and image features from slides. Experimental results show 95% accuracy in linking of the scanned handouts to the e-presentation media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
