Diem, M., Kleber, F., Fiel, S., Grüning, T., & Gatos, B. (2017). cBAD: ICDAR2017 Competition on Baseline Detection. In 2017 14th IAPR International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR). Kyoto, Japan. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDAR.2017.222
The cBAD competition aims at benchmarking state-of-the-art baseline detection algorithms. It is in line with previous competitions such as the ICDAR 2013 Handwriting Segmentation Contest. A new, challenging, dataset was created to test the behavior of state-of-the-art systems on real world data. Since traditional evaluation schemes are not applicable to the size and modality of this dataset, we present a new one that introduces baselines to measure performance. We received submissions from five different teams for both tracks.
