CALL FOR PAPER
ViDiScript. Visual
Processing of Digital Manuscripts:
Workflows, Pipelines, Best Practices
Monday 11th September 2023, Udine (Italy)
workshop co-located with 2023 International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2023)
The workshop aims at collecting and connecting the most recent applications of Computer Vision to Historical Handwritten Documents Processing in its
broader sense.
Many initiatives have focused on one dimension of the problem, such as layout analysis, image binarization, transcription or material aspects of the manufact. We would like to organise
an event on the full historical document processing workflow and pipeline, connecting the multiple dimensions of the analysis of the manuscript document, in its material and codicological, as well as textual, paratextual and palaeographical
aspects. We are also interested to the possibilities offered by Computer Vision tools for the preservation and analysis of ancient and medieval documents, which should be part of the workflow.
The workshop calls for submissions is addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
· Handwritten
Text Recognition of historical documents
· Layout
Analysis for historical documents
· Writer
Identification in manuscript documents
· Historical
Documents processing workflow
· Few-shot
learning approaches for HTR and Layout Analysis
· Computer
Vision and Digital Codicology
· 3D
reconstruction, visualisation and modeling for Historical Documents
· Multispectral
imaging for analyzing Historical Documents
· Digital
Preservation
Submission and review
Participants can choose between two formats:
1. Full paper (max. 10 + 2 pages for references): accepted
submissions will be presented at the workshop, and published in the ICIAP 2023 Workshops volume, edited by Springer.
2. Abstract and short presentation (1-4 pages) of ongoing projects presenting workflows for preliminary, mid-term or pilot projects are welcome, although they cannot be published
in the conference proceedings.
