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 We would like to organise an event on the full historical document processing workflow and pipeline, connecting the multiple dimensions of the analysis of the manuscript document, in its material and codicological, as well as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• Handwritten Text Recognition of historical documents

• Layout Analysis for historical documents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• Historical Documents processing workflow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• 3D reconstruction, visualisation and modeling for Historical Documents

• Multispectral imaging for analyzing Historical Documents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
