Page image classifier fine-tuned on century-spanning archives of scanned documents for further content-specific processing
Researchers developed an automated image classification system using fine-tuned deep learning models to categorize scanned historical documents by content type (text, tables, graphics), achieving 99.16% accuracy on Czech archaeological archives. The system successfully processed over 649,000 unlabeled pages, with RegNetY-16GF emerging as the most reliable model for production deployment due to consistent inter-model agreement.
