However, selecting training samples based on the degree of agreement between annotators introduces a bias in the training data and does not improve the results.

We present a study conducted using three state-of-the-art systems Doc-UFCN, dhSegment and ARU-Net and show that it is possible to build generic models trained on a wide variety of historical document datasets that can correctly segment diverse unseen pages.

However, the segmentation of complex documents into semantic regions is sometimes impossible relying only on visual features and recent models embed both visual and textual information.

In this paper, we introduce a fully convolutional network for the document layout analysis task.

We introduce in this paper a new dataset of annotated pages from books of hours, a type of handwritten prayer books owned and used by rich lay people in the late middle ages.
