# 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](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10032-022-00395-7) 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.
