This is an experimental re-write of the Box clustering segmentation algorithm published in
ZELENÝ Jan, BURGET Radek and ZENDULKA Jaroslav. Box Clustering Segmentation: A New Method for Vision-based Page Preprocessing.
In Information Processing and Management. 2017, vol. 53, no. 3, pp. 735-750. ISSN 0306-4573.
This project contains a port of the original CSSBox-based implementation to the FitLayout framework. Since the underlying page representation used by FitLayout is different than the CSSBox model, the new implementation may give different results in certain situations.
This is a work in progress, several bugs may have been itroduced during the rewrite. Please report any issues found in the code via GitHub Issues.
When using the project for your scientific work, please cite the related publication:
