Deciphering Venetian handwriting

Planning

Week	Task
09	Segment patch of text in Sommarioni : (page id, patch)
10	Mapping transcription (excel file) -> page id (proof of concept)
11	Mapping transcription (excel file) -> page id (on the whole dataset)
12	Depending of the quality of the results : improve the mapping of page id, more precise matching, viewer web
13	Final results, final evaluation & final report writing
14	Final project presentation

Week 09

• Input  : Sommarioni images
• Output : Patch of pixels containing text with coordinate of the patch in the Sommarioni
• Step 1 : Segment hand written text regions in Sommarioni images
• Step 2 : Extraction of the patches

Week 10

• Input  : transcription (Excel File), tuples (page id, patch) extracted in week 9
• Output : line in the transcription -> page id
• Step 1 : HTR recognition in the patch and cleaning  : (patch, text)
• Step 2 : Find matching pair between recognized text and transcription
• Step 3 : New excel file with the new page id column

Week 11

• Step 1 : Apply the pipeline validated on week 10 on the whole dataset
• Step 2 : Evaluate the quality and based on that decide of the tasks for the next weeks

Week 12

• Depending of the quality of the matching
  • Improve image segmentation
  • More precise matching (excel cell) -> (page id, patch) in order to have the precise box of each written text
  • Use a IIF image viewer to show the results of the project in a more fancy way
