Unveiling Text in Challenging Stone Inscriptions: A Character-Context-Aware Patching Strategy for Binarization

Pratyush Jena, Amal Joseph, Arnav Sharma, Ravi Kiran Sarvadevabhatla
In Indian Conference on Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing (ICVGIP) , 2025

A novel Character-Context-Adaptive patching strategy for Binarization and a pixel-precise challenging Indic stone inscription dataset.

LineTR: Unified Text Line Segmentation for Challenging Palm Leaf Manuscripts

Vaibhav Agrawal, Niharika Vadlamudi, Amal Joseph, Muhammad Waseem, Sreenya Chitluri, Ravi Kiran Sarvadevabhatla
In International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) , 2024

Re-imagining text line segmentation in challenging documents. Instead of a pixel-based segmentation paradigm, LineTR uses a parametric representation of a line, leveraging its inductive priors. Introduces a novel context-adaptive patching mechanism for zero-shot generalizability.
