Cette thèse aborde la reconnaissance de documents suivant une approche assistée, qui vise à exploiter au mieux les compétences respectives de l’homme et de la machine. Nos contributions portent notamment sur les questions d’architecture logicielle soulevées par la mise en oeuvre de systèmes de reconnaissance de documents. Les avantages d’un environnement coopératif sont motivés par...

This thesis investigates methods for building an efficient application system for the document-based automatic indexing and retrieval (DocMIR) of multimedia data captured from multimodal environments such as meetings, conferences, etc. Both empirical image processing, video segmentation methods and document analysis approaches are studied to bridge the gap between temporal data and static...

This thesis addresses the recognition of physical and logical structures of complex documents, rich in variability. More precisely, we studied the evolution of models within an interactive context where the system gradually integrates the knowledge induced by the corrections of the user. We studied the features of the Arabic language and we designed a recognition system for this language. In a...

Document recognition is a research domain that doesn’t lose its relevance even in a world where documents are increasingly often available in an electronic form. Whereas some years ago, the goal of document recognition was to convert documents from paper into an electronic form, the problem is shifted more and more from pure recognition towards document understanding. This requires much more...

This thesis proposes a multimodal alignment framework that bridges the gap between static documents and spoken language. This alignment aims mainly at linking static documents with temporal data, in order to exploit the multi-level structure of documents for indexing multimedia recordings of events. This novel multimodal alignment method, largely described in this thesis, is applied on two...

This thesis proposes a method for indexing and browsing archives of multimedia documents, and in particular meeting recordings, using printable documents and links. Existing systems for indexing and browsing multimedia data have four main limits. First, the indexing requires high-level abstractions extracted from multimedia documents, which is still an unsolved problem for rich media such as...

The phonographic record was the only way to store sounds until the introduction of magnetic tape in the early 1950s. Therefore there are huge collections of phonographic records, for example in radio stations and national sound archives. Such archives include pressed discs, which were produced in mass by record companies for commercial distribution, as well as direct cut discs obtained by the...
