For this reason, some recent methods propose to perform the recognition at paragraph level. But still, errors in the segmentation of paragraphs can affectthe transcription performance. In this work, we propose an end-to-end framework to transcribe full pages. The joint text detection and transcription allows to remove the layout analysis requirement at test time. The experimental results show that our approach can achieve comparable results to models that assumesegmented paragraphs, and suggest that joining the two tasks brings an improvement over doing the two tasks separately.", optnote="DAG; 600.140; 601.311; 600.140", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=3353), last updated on Thu, 11 Mar 2021 23:12:58 +0100", doi="10.1109/ICDARW.2019.40077", opturl="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8892971", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/CMV2019.pdf:PDF" }
