TY - STD AU - Francisco Cruz AU - Oriol Ramos Terrades PY - 2018// TI - A probabilistic framework for handwritten text line segmentation KW - Document Analysis KW - Text Line Segmentation KW - EM algorithm KW - Probabilistic Graphical Models KW - Parameter Learning N2 - We successfully combine Expectation-Maximization algorithm and variationalapproaches for parameter learning and computing inference on Markov random fields. This is a general method that can be applied to many computervision tasks. In this paper, we apply it to handwritten text line segmentation.We conduct several experiments that demonstrate that our method deal withcommon issues of this task, such as complex document layout or non-latinscripts. The obtained results prove that our method achieve state-of-theart performance on different benchmark datasets without any particular finetuning step.
