## 💻 Usage Examples |
|
|
|
|
|
### Basic Loading |
|
|
|
|
|
```python |
|
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
# Load the dataset |
|
|
dataset = load_dataset("Rahvusarhiiv/ArchXAI_document_segmentation") |
|
|
|
|
|
# Access a sample |
|
|
sample = dataset['train'][0] |
|
|
image = sample['image'] |
|
|
text_regions = sample['text_regions'] |
|
|
text_lines = sample['text_lines'] |
|
|
document = sample['document_title'] |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Parse Coordinates |
|
|
|
|
|
```python |
|
|
def parse_coordinates(coord_string): |
|
|
"""Parse coordinate string into list of polygons.""" |
|
|
regions = [] |
|
|
if not coord_string: |
|
|
return regions |
|
|
|
|
|
# Split by regions/lines |
|
|
parts = coord_string.split('),region_') if 'region_' in coord_string else coord_string.split('),line_') |
|
|
|
|
|
for part in parts: |
|
|
# Extract coordinates |
|
|
if ':(' in part: |
|
|
coords_str = part.split(':(')[1] if ':(' in part else part |
|
|
coords_str = coords_str.rstrip(')') |
|
|
|
|
|
# Parse coordinate pairs |
|
|
coords = [] |
|
|
pairs = coords_str.split('),(') |
|
|
for pair in pairs: |
|
|
pair = pair.strip('()') |
|
|
if ',' in pair: |
|
|
x, y = pair.split(',') |
|
|
coords.append((int(x), int(y))) |
|
|
|
|
|
if coords: |
|
|
regions.append(coords) |
|
|
|
|
|
return regions |
|
|
|
|
|
# Example usage |
|
|
sample = dataset['train'][0] |
|
|
text_regions = parse_coordinates(sample['text_regions']) |
|
|
text_lines = parse_coordinates(sample['text_lines']) |
|
|
|
|
|
print(f"Found {len(text_regions)} text regions") |
|
|
print(f"Found {len(text_lines)} text lines") |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Visualize Coordinates |
|
|
|
|
|
```python |
|
|
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw |
|
|
|
|
|
def visualize_coordinates(image, text_regions, text_lines): |
|
|
"""Draw coordinates on image.""" |
|
|
img_copy = image.copy() |
|
|
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img_copy) |
|
|
|
|
|
# Parse and draw text regions (red) |
|
|
regions = parse_coordinates(text_regions) |
|
|
for region in regions: |
|
|
if len(region) >= 3: |
|
|
draw.polygon(region, outline='red', width=2) |
|
|
|
|
|
# Parse and draw text lines (blue) |
|
|
lines = parse_coordinates(text_lines) |
|
|
for line in lines: |
|
|
if len(line) >= 3: |
|
|
draw.polygon(line, outline='blue', width=1) |
|
|
|
|
|
return img_copy |
|
|
|
|
|
# Visualize first sample |
|
|
sample = dataset['train'][0] |
|
|
annotated_image = visualize_coordinates( |
|
|
sample['image'], |
|
|
sample['text_regions'], |
|
|
sample['text_lines'] |
|
|
) |
|
|
annotated_image.show() |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Filter by Document |
|
|
|
|
|
```python |
|
|
# Filter by specific document |
|
|
document_pages = dataset['train'].filter(lambda x: 'Aleksander Warma' in x['document_title']) |
|
|
|
|
|
# Group by document |
|
|
from collections import defaultdict |
|
|
by_document = defaultdict(list) |
|
|
for i, sample in enumerate(dataset['train']): |
|
|
by_document[sample['document_title']].append(i) |
|
|
|
|
|
print(f"Documents in dataset: {list(by_document.keys())}") |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|

|
## 🔧 Technical Details |
|
|
|
|
|
### Coordinate System |
|
|
- Coordinates are in pixel space relative to the full page image |
|
|
- Origin (0,0) is at top-left corner |
|
|
- Polygons are stored as sequences of (x,y) points |
|
|
- Text regions typically have 4 points (rectangles) |
|
|
- Text lines may have variable number of points following text baseline |
|
|
|
|
|
### Data Processing |
|
|
- Extracted from Transkribus PAGE XML format |
|
|
- Coordinate precision maintained from original annotations |
|
|
- Images converted to RGB format for consistency |
|
|
- Document titles extracted from Transkribus folder structure |
|
|
|
|
|
## ⚠️ Data Quality Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
- Image quality varies based on historical document preservation |
|
|
- Some pages may have irregular text layouts due to historical formatting |
|
|
- Coordinate accuracy depends on original Transkribus annotation quality |
|
|
- Text regions may overlap or have complex shapes |
|
|
|
|
|
## 🚫 Limitations |
|
|
|
|
|
- Limited to Estonian language documents |
|
|
- Historical document layouts may not represent modern document structures |
|
|
- Dataset size is focused on quality over quantity |
|
|
- Coordinate formats are optimised for polygon representation |
|
|
- Some documents may have incomplete coordinate annotations |
