Target
Audience
The tutorial discusses the principles and practise
of computer document processing. Therefore workers
in handwritten document processing will obtain an
insight into how handwritten data may be processed
by means of computer software. Also those who have
recently started work on computer analysis of handwritten
data will obtain a summary of developed techniques
for analysis and recognition of handwritten documents
and forms. 1.5 hrs.
The second tutorial on Digital Watermarking gives
a summary of the methods, applications and limitations
of digital watermarking of pictures. Therefore workers
in the field of picture copyright provision or image
ownership will receive an insight into the use of
digital watermarking for these purposes. 1.5 hrs.
