The contest was hosted by TopCoder.com, the largest competitive online software developer community. The challenge was to detect, segment and recognize figures, captions and part labels from patent drawing images. The solution presented in this work was the winning submission.enImage analysisCharacter recognitionImage segmentationDocument image analysisFigure detection and part label extraction from patent drawing imagesConference PresentationCronje, J.
