Handwritten Text Recognition, Keyword Spotting, Historical Handwritten DocumentsAbstract
Accessing historical documents requires an effective toolbox that comprises several technologies within the area of document image analysis. In this paper, we focus on Handwritten Text recognition (HTR) and Keyword spotting (KS) for which we present representative approaches that aim for effectiveness and efficiency.References
