	abstract = {Compared to scanned images, document pictures captured by camera can suffer from distortions due to perspective and page warping. It is necessary to restore a frontal planar view of the page before other OCR techniques can be applied. In this paper we describe a novel approach for flattening a curved document in a single picture captured by an uncalibrated camera. To our knowledge this is the first reported method able to process general curved documents in images without camera calibration. We propose to model the page surface by a developable surface, and exploit the properties (parallelism and equal line spacing) of the printed textual content on the page to recover the surface shape. Experiments show that the output images are much more OCR friendly than the original ones. While our method is designed to work with any general developable surfaces, it can be adapted for typical special cases including planar pages, scans of thick books, and opened books.},

	abstract = {We propose an integrated approach to page classification and logical labelling. Layout is represented by a fully connected attributed relational graph that is matched to the graph of an unknown document, achieving classification and labelling simultaneously. By incorporating global constraints in an integrated fashion, ambiguity at the zone level can be reduced, providing robustness to noise and variation. Models are automatically trained from sample documents. Experimental results show promise for the classification and labelling of technical article title pages, and supports the idea of a hierarchical model base.},

	abstract = {An approach to image based typographic analysis of documents is provided. The problem requires a spatial understanding of the document layout as well as knowledge of the proper syntax. The system performs a page synthesis from the stream of formatting commands defined in a DVI file. Since the two-dimensional relationships between document components are not explicit in the page language, the authors develop a representation which preserves the two-dimensional layout, the read-order and the attributes of document components. From this hierarchical representation of the page layout we extract and analyze relevant typographic features such as margins, line and character spacing, and figure placement},
