Abstract
Indexing and searching collections of handwritten archival documents and manuscripts has always been a challenge because handwriting recognizers do not perform well on such noisy documents. Given a collection of documents written by a single author (or a few authors), one can apply a technique called word spotting. The approach is to cluster word images based on their visual appearance, after segmenting them from the documents. Annotation can then be performed for clusters rather than documents.
