Doc-UFCN - Samaritan manuscripts line detection

The Samaritan manuscripts line detection model predicts text lines from document images.

Model description

The model has been trained using the Doc-UFCN library on 10 Samaritan datasets:

It has been trained on images with their largest dimension equal to 768 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.

The model has been trained to reduce mergers in predictions (see the paper for more details on training). Therefore, despite slightly low evaluation values, the model correctly detects lines on a wide variety of historical and modern manuscript documents.

How to use?

Please refer to the Doc-UFCN library page (https://pypi.org/project/doc-ufcn/) to use this model.
