DocMining: A Document Analysis System Builder

In this paper, we present DocMining, a general framework that allows the construction of scenarios dedicated to document image processing. The framework is the result of the collaboration between four academic partners and one industrial partner. The main issues of DocMining are the description and the execution of document analysis scenarios. The explicit declaration of scenarios and the plug-ins oriented approach of the framework allow to integrate easily new Document Processing Units and to create new application prototypes. Moreover, this paper highlights the interest of the platform to solve the problem of performance evaluation.
