Document Analysis and Exploitation

Introduction

The use of the DAE platform is quite straightforward. This series of How-To pages explains how. Please check regularly since they are extended continuously. For more technical information, please refer to the corresponding documentation on Sourceforge.

The DAE platform mainly offers 3 kinds of service:

1. Access to experimental data sets for document analysis. This includes document image data and often, associated ground-truth interpretations.
2. Access to referenced state of the art document analysis algorithms.
3. Annotation of data.

All these services can be accessed either in (human) interactive form through the dedicated web server and its interfaces, or by using third party software like Taverna. Thay can also be directly accessed using the appropriate APIs as described in the following pages, as well.
