Abstract :
A configurable archive document image analysis system for digital library construction has been designed using rapid prototyping and top-down iterative development methods. This approach has been found to be essential in order to capture the curators´ expertise about existing card archive structures, content and databases. The design currently achieves about 93% correct segmentation of the required archive card fields overall, with 81.3% of all archive cards in a testset of 2000 images having all fields correctly segmented and labeled. Analysis of errors in the testset indicates that heavily-annotated cards and non-standard card formats comprise 5-10% of the overall archive, and a significant proportion of these are unlikely to be resolvable without curatorial intervention.
