In our method, we first empirically construct two sequences of learned dictionaries for the text and graphical parts respectively. Then, we compute the sparse representations of all different sizes and non-overlapped document patches in these learned dictionaries. Based on these representations, each patch can be classified into the text or graphic category by comparing its reconstruction errors. Same-sized patches in one category are then merged together to define the corresponding text or graphic layers which are combined to createfinal text/graphic layer. Finally, in a post-processing step, text regions are further filtered out by using some learned thresholds.", optnote="DAG", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2135), last updated on Thu, 07 Mar 2019 11:03:57 +0100", opturl="http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00759554", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/DTR2012a.pdf:PDF" }
