Ground truth data for the Optical Character Recognition of Historical Classical Commentaries.

Overview

OCR Ground Truth for Historical Commentaries

DOI License: CC BY 4.0

The dataset OCR ground truth for historical commentaries (GT4HistComment) was created from the public domain subset of scholarly commentaries on Sophocles' Ajax. Its main goal is to enable the evaluation of the OCR quality on printed materials that contain a mix of Latin and polytonic Greek scripts. It consists of five 19C commentaries written in German, English, and Latin, for a total of 3,356 GT lines.

Data

GT4HistComment are contained in data/, where each sub-folder corresponds to a different publication (i.e. commentary). For each each commentary we provide the following data:

  • <commentary_id>/GT-pairs: pairs of image/text files for each GT line
  • <commentary_id>/imgs: original images on which the OCR was performed
  • <commentary_id>/<commentary_id>_olr.tsv: OLR annotations with image region coordinates and layout type ground truth label

The OCR output produced by the Kraken + Ciaconna pipeline was manually corrected by a pool of annotators using the Lace platform. In order to ensure the quality of the ground truth datasets, an additional verification of all transcriptions made in Lace was carried out by an annotator on line-by-line pairs of image and corresponding text.

    Adds a table to README.md as suggested by reviewer 1. The table also link to a more complete table, itself a public version of spreadsheet OCR evaluation and stats!detailed_counts. Note that the publishable version is an external reference to our private version, meaning that actualising the latter will also update the former.
