The Gamera Framework for Building Custom Recognition Systems

by Michael Droettboom. Karl MacMillan. Ichiro Fujinaga.

This paper describes the Gamera framework for building custom document recognition systems. This open-source system is designed to support the test-and-refine development cycle: an important style for developing recognition systems that work with difficult historical documents, since the solutions are often non-obvious. This paper explains the overall architecture of the system, in addition to detailed information on recent research subprojects and their performance on real-world data. [via]
