Abstract
This first chapter puts in context the symbol spotting problem. By giving a general overview of the Document Image Analysis and Recognition field and, in particular, of the Graphics Recognition research topic, we present the motivations for the present study. We summarize the objectives and contributions of this book as well as the contents of each chapter.
