Analysis and Interpretation of Graphical Documents

International audienceThis chapter is dedicated to the analysis and the interpretation of graphical documents, and as such, builds upon many of the topics covered in other parts of this handbook. It will therefore not focus on any of the technical issues related to graphical documents, such as low level filtering and binarization, primitive extraction and vectorization as developed in Chapters 2.1 and 5.1 or symbol recognition, for instance, as developed in Chapter 5.2. These tools are put in a broader framework and threaded together in complex pipelines to solve interpretation questions. This chapter provides an overview of how analysis strategies have contributed to constructing these pipelines, how specific domain knowledge is integrated in these analyses, and which interpretation contexts have been contributed to successful approaches

Concept lattices : a tool for primitives selection ?

In this paper, we present the problem of noisy images recognition and in particular the stage of primitives selection in a classification process. This selection stage appears after segmentation and statistical describers extraction on documentary images are realized. We describe precisely the use of decision tree in order to harmonize and compare it with another less studied method based on a concept lattice.Dans ce papier, nous présentons la problématique de la reconnaissance d'images détériorées et plus particulièrement l'étape de sélection de primitives au sein d'un traitement de classification supervisée. Cette étape de sélection a lieu après que la segmentation et l'extraction des descripteurs statistiques sur des images documentaires aient été réalisées. Nous exposons en détail l'utilisation d'un arbre de décision, afin de l'harmoniser puis la comparer avec une approche moins étudiée utilisant un treillis de Galois
