Technical Details

The dataset release consist of two indices in CSV format which include the list of Publications that must be downloaded from the Pub Med Central and the list of images that have been used for each task from each of these publications. Along with these indices, we include python scripts that can be used to download and uncompress the required images. Then, we include the ground truth annotations for each image for each task, both in their original XML format as used by the annotation tools, as well as the JSON format used by the evaluation tools of the original ICDAR CHART 2019 Competition.
