This competition investigates the performance of glyph detection and recognition on a very challenging type of historical document: Greek papyri. The detection and recognition of Greek letters on papyri is a preliminary step for computational analysis of handwriting that can lead to major steps for...

We are proud to announce the launch of the ICPR 2022 ODeuropa Competition on Olfactory Object Recognition (ODOR), the world's first competition for the detection on olfactory objects on historical artworks. Work with a data set of >24000 object annotations in 87 categories on ~3000 images and cr...

This competition investigates the performance of historical document classification. The analysis of historical documents is a difficult challenge commonly solved by trained humanists. We provide three different classification tasks, which can be solved individually or jointly: font group, location...

This competition investigates the performance of large-scale retrieval of historical document fragments based on writer recognition. The analysis of historic fragments is a difficult challenge commonly solved by trained humanists. To simulate fragments, we extract random text patches from histo...
