An Off-line Database for Writer Retrieval, Writer Identification and Word Spotting The CVL Database is a public database for writer retrieval, writer identification and word spotting. The database consists of 7 different handwritten texts (1 German and 6 Englisch Texts). In total 310 writers participated in the dataset. 27 of which wrote 7 texts and … Continue reading CVL-Database
Introduction Handwriting recognition is an open research topic in the document analysis community. We provide two new, freely available real world datasets for an established problem. The competition consists of two independent tasks, namely segmented single Arabic digits and Arabic digit strings. Contributions will be accepted for either of the competitions. The dataset of segmented … Continue reading ICDAR2013 – Handwritten Digit and Digit String Recognition Competition
Description The coin image dataset is a dataset of 60 classes of Roman Republican coins. Each class is represented by three coin images of the reverse side acquired at Coin Cabinet of the Museum of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. The dataset has been used for evaluation in [1]. Download and Use The dataset is … Continue reading Coin Image Dataset
SIDIRE: Synthetic Image Dataset for Illumination Robustness Evaluation SIDIRE is a freely available image dataset which provides synthetically generated images allowing to investigate the influence of illumination changes on object appearance. The images are renderings of 3D coin models with different material BRDFs and levels of texturedness. Thus, the dataset makes it possible to directly … Continue reading SIDIRE
The goal of this project is to analyze snippets of “manually” torn documents. A reconstruction of fragmented writing materials allows to retrieve and to analyze the lost content. This is done on objects of cultural and historic value, or for crime investigation as example. Reassembling algorithms use either the shape of the fragments, the content … Continue reading DIR – Document Information Retrieval

The goal of the project is to develop robust and efficient techniques for the recognition and localisation of objects in images and video sequences. This goal can be subdivided into the following aims: Improve the use colour information in object recognition — for example, illumination changes an shadows should be taken into account in the … Continue reading OMOR
The goal of the EU project “Robot Fleets for Highly Effective Crop Management in Miditerranean Agriculture (RHEA)” is to develop a system for the precise and automatic management of agricultural land by using a fleet of autonomous land and air vehicles. This includes the development of new computer vision algorithms for crop evaluation and weed … Continue reading RHEA
