Handwriting Extraction and Analysis of Signature Lists in Swiss Popular Initiatives
Marco Peer, Thomas Gorges, Mathias Seuret +2
Popular initiatives and referendums are central to Swiss democracy, yet the validation of handwritten signature lists remains a labor-intensive manual process. This paper investiga…
ICDAR 2026 Competition on Writer Identification and Pen Classification from Hand-Drawn Circles
Thomas Gorges, Janne van der Loop, Lukas Hüttner +4
This paper presents CircleID, a large-scale ICDAR 2026 competition on writer identification and pen classification from scanned hand-drawn circles. The primary objective is to inve…
DRetHTR: Linear-Time Decoder-Only Retentive Network for Handwritten Text Recognition
Changhun Kim, Martin Mayr, Thomas Gorges +4
State-of-the-art handwritten text recognition (HTR) systems commonly use Transformers, whose growing key-value (KV) cache makes decoding slow and memory-intensive. We introduce DRe…
Zero-Shot Paragraph-level Handwriting Imitation with Latent Diffusion Models
Martin Mayr, Marcel Dreier, Florian Kordon +5
The imitation of cursive handwriting is mainly limited to generating handwritten words or lines. Multiple synthetic outputs must be stitched together to create paragraphs or whole…
A Fair Evaluation of Various Deep Learning-Based Document Image Binarization Approaches
Richin Sukesh, Mathias Seuret, Anguelos Nicolaou +2
Binarization of document images is an important pre-processing step in the field of document analysis. Traditional image binarization techniques usually rely on histograms or local…
TorMentor: Deterministic dynamic-path, data augmentations with fractals
Anguelos Nicolaou, Vincent Christlein, Edgar Riba +3
We propose the use of fractals as a means of efficient data augmentation. Specifically, we employ plasma fractals for adapting global image augmentation transformations into contin…
