Document Analysis Systems for Digital Libraries: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Abstract. Implications of technical demands made within digital libraries (DL's) for document image analysis systems are discussed. The state-of-the-art is summarized, including a digest of themes that emerged during the recent International Workshop on Document Image Analysis for Libraries. We attempt to specify, in considerable detail, the essential features of document analysis systems that can assist in: (a) the creation of DL's; (b) automatic indexing and retrieval of doc-images within DL's; (c) the presentation of doc-images to DL users; (d) navigation within and among doc-images in DL's; and (e) effective use of personal and interactive DL's.

Crowdsourced Local Delivery in Developing and Developed Countries: A Comparison of Stakeholder Expectations

“…Customers expect to be able to track their packages via GPS (Le and Ukkusuri 2019), however couriers might not want to share their location. Individuals in collectivist societies tend to have more trust and faith in their fellow citizens in comparison to those in individualist societies (Baird and Lopresti 2005). Hence, individualist internet users are less suspicious and more willing to share their data on the internet in comparison to their collectivist counterparts (Baird and Lopresti 2005).…”

Beyond Digital Incunabula: Modeling the Next Generation of Digital Libraries

“…Digital libraries need to include a range of automated processes that add value to their collections, including both classification (matching pre-determined patterns) and data mining (discovering new patterns) [1,25]. While fields such as machine learning and data mining are major topics in their own right, integrating Fig.…”

Learning Features for Writer Identification from Handwriting on Papyri

“…Over the last few decades, there has been a significant increase in the trend to digitize ancient documents [ 1 , 2 ]. The digitization not only aims at preserving the cultural heritage and to make it publicly accessible but also allows research on these rich collections without the need to physically access them.…”
