Abstract

In this paper, we describe easily extractable features and an approach for document image retrieval and classification at spatial level. The approach is based on the content of the image and utilizing visual similarity, it provides high speed classification of noisy text document images without optical character recognition (OCR). Our method involves a bag-of-visual words (BoVW) model on the designed descriptors and a Random- Window (RW) technique to capture the structural relationships of the spatial layout. Using the features based on these information, we analyze different multiclass classification methods as well as ensemble classifiers method with Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a base learner. The results demonstrate that the proposed method for obtaining structural relations is competitive for noisy document image categorization.
