Historical Manuscripts

Tutorial

In our paper we assumed the shapes had been extracted correctly from the historical manuscripts, in this PowerPoint presentation we give a mini tutorial on how to do this with simple Matlab scripts.

Automatic shape extraction

Description

In the paper we glossed over the process that allows automatic extraction of shapes from images. This video shows that this is possible even from degraded image.

Thanks to Abdullah Al Mueen (UCR) for producing the video.
