Virtual unrolling and information recovery from scanned scrolled historical documents

作者:

Highlights:

• A pioneering attempt to automate virtual reading of a real historical parchment.

• The presented framework does not require user interaction.

• We propose a flexible framework which is controlled by several parameters.

• Our model is able to reveal a scrolled parchment's content if its ink contains enough iron.

• We demonstrate performance of the framework with five different real scrolls.
