Description
This dataset is composed of documents images extracted from the same French magazine : Le Nouvel Observateur, issue 2402, November 18th-24th, 2010.
The provided dataset is composed of 375 Full-Document Images (A4 format, 300-dpi resolution)
- 125 numerical "original documents" extracted from a PDF, with full OCR groundtruth.
- 125 numerical "clean documents" created from the "original documents" where images have been removed.
- 125 "scanned documents" based on the "clean documents". They have been printed, scanned and registered to match the "clean documents".
Ground Truth Data
- Ground Truth for LRDE DBD text line localization
- Ground Truth for LRDE DBD binarization
- Ground Truth for LRDE DBD OCR
