  • Abstract
    We present WebGT, the first web-based system to help users produce ground truth data for document images. This user-friendly software system helps historians and computer scientists collectively annotate historical documents. It supports real time collaboration among remote sites independent of the local operating system and also provides several novel semi-automatic tools that have proven effective for annotating degraded documents.
