From the reviews:“This book provides a background in the area of document image analysis. It has general information on image analysis, information on document image analysis, and then information specific to the application of word and phrase recognition within document images. … I would definitely recommend this book to novice researchers in document analysis and recognition, especially to those new to computer vision as well.” (Jeremy Svendsen, IAPR Newsletter, Vol. 34 (3), July-August, 2012)
