Overview: Digitisation Workflow
3
Main steps:① Scanning② Image enhancement
Page splitting Border removal Page curl removal Dewarping
③ Layout analysis Segmentation of regions, lines, words and
characters Region classification Logical layout analysis
④ OCR (incl. specialist or wordspotting)⑤ Post-processing

Correction of Arbitrary Warping Fully-automated tool for large-scale
digitisation Interface for interactive fine correction
(e.g. for boutique digitisation projects) Arbitrary geometric artefacts correction Multi-column documents Fully-parameterised process (reversible) No adverse effects on non-warped
