Adria Rico and Alicia Fornes. 2017. Camera-based Optical Music Recognition using a Convolutional Neural Network. 12th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition.27–28.
Abstract: Optical Music Recognition (OMR) consists in recognizing images of music scores. Contrary to expectation, the current OMR systems usually fail when recognizing images of scores captured by digital cameras and smartphones. In this work, we propose a camera-based OMR system based on Convolutional Neural Networks, showing promising preliminary results
Keywords: optical music recognition; document analysis; convolutional neural network; deep learning

Adria Molina, Pau Riba, Lluis Gomez, Oriol Ramos Terrades and Josep Llados. 2021. Date Estimation in the Wild of Scanned Historical Photos: An Image Retrieval Approach. 16th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition.306–320. (LNCS.)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method for date estimation of historical photographs from archival sources. The main contribution is to formulate the date estimation as a retrieval task, where given a query, the retrieved images are ranked in terms of the estimated date similarity. The closer are their embedded representations the closer are their dates. Contrary to the traditional models that design a neural network that learns a classifier or a regressor, we propose a learning objective based on the nDCG ranking metric. We have experimentally evaluated the performance of the method in two different tasks: date estimation and date-sensitive image retrieval, using the DEW public database, overcoming the baseline methods.

Adria Molina, Lluis Gomez, Oriol Ramos Terrades and Josep Llados. 2022. A Generic Image Retrieval Method for Date Estimation of Historical Document Collections. Document Analysis Systems.15th IAPR International Workshop, (DAS2022).583–597.
Abstract: Date estimation of historical document images is a challenging problem, with several contributions in the literature that lack of the ability to generalize from one dataset to others. This paper presents a robust date estimation system based in a retrieval approach that generalizes well in front of heterogeneous collections. We use a ranking loss function named smooth-nDCG to train a Convolutional Neural Network that learns an ordination of documents for each problem. One of the main usages of the presented approach is as a tool for historical contextual retrieval. It means that scholars could perform comparative analysis of historical images from big datasets in terms of the period where they were produced. We provide experimental evaluation on different types of documents from real datasets of manuscript and newspaper images.
Keywords: Date estimation; Document retrieval; Image retrieval; Ranking loss; Smooth-nDCG

Adarsh Tiwari, Sanket Biswas and Josep Llados. 2023. Can Pre-trained Language Models Help in Understanding Handwritten Symbols? 17th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition.199–211.
Abstract: The emergence of transformer models like BERT, GPT-2, GPT-3, RoBERTa, T5 for natural language understanding tasks has opened the floodgates towards solving a wide array of machine learning tasks in other modalities like images, audio, music, sketches and so on. These language models are domain-agnostic and as a result could be applied to 1-D sequences of any kind. However, the key challenge lies in bridging the modality gap so that they could generate strong features beneficial for out-of-domain tasks. This work focuses on leveraging the power of such pre-trained language models and discusses the challenges in predicting challenging handwritten symbols and alphabets.

A.Kesidis and Dimosthenis Karatzas. 2014. Logo and Trademark Recognition. In D. Doermann and K. Tombre, eds. Handbook of Document Image Processing and Recognition. Springer London, 591–646.
Abstract: The importance of logos and trademarks in nowadays society is indisputable, variably seen under a positive light as a valuable service for consumers or a negative one as a catalyst of ever-increasing consumerism. This chapter discusses the technical approaches for enabling machines to work with logos, looking into the latest methodologies for logo detection, localization, representation, recognition, retrieval, and spotting in a variety of media. This analysis is presented in the context of three different applications covering the complete depth and breadth of state of the art techniques. These are trademark retrieval systems, logo recognition in document images, and logo detection and removal in images and videos. This chapter, due to the very nature of logos and trademarks, brings together various facets of document image analysis spanning graphical and textual content, while it links document image analysis to other computer vision domains, especially when it comes to the analysis of real-scene videos and images.
Keywords: Logo recognition; Logo removal; Logo spotting; Trademark registration; Trademark retrieval systems
