Creating a complete workflow for digitising historical census documents : considerations and evaluation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The 1961 Census of England and Wales was the first UK census to make use of computers. However, only bound volumes and microfilm copies of printouts remain, locking a wealth of information in a form that is practically unusable for research. In this...

Journal Article
Yang, P., Antonacopoulos, A., Clausner, C., Pletschacher, S., & Qi, J. (2017). Effective geometric restoration of distorted historical documents for large-scale digitization. IET Image Processing, 11(10), 841-853. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-ipr.2016.0973

Due to storage conditions and material’s non-planar shape, geometric distortion of the 2-D content is widely present in scanned document images. Effective geometric restoration of these distorted document images considerably increases character recog...
