Layout segmentation is a critical aspect of Document Image Analysis, particularly when it comes to ancient manuscripts. It consists in decomposing the document in several regions representing title, main text, paratext, etc.. We invite the research community to address this task on U-DIADS-Bib, a novel dataset of fully-labelled ancient manuscripts.
Competition Tasks:
We propose two separate tasks. Participants can try only one of them or both.

Winners of each task will be eligible for a cash prize of 300 EUR sponsored by CVPL – Italian Association for Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, IAPR Italian chapter.
