OICEN-HTR: Old Icelandic / Norse Handwritten Text Recognition

Description

This repository contains HTR models fine-tuned with CATMuS Medieval 1.6.0 on Old Icelandic manuscripts. It also contains the ground truth data, but not the images, as they are usually available on Handrit.is.

Currently it includes the ground truth data for Alexanders saga (AM 519 4 to), Codex Wormianus (AM 242 fol), parts of Möðruvallabók (AM 132 fol), as well as the separate and combined HTR models fine-tuned on these data.

These models are better suited for Old Icelandic manuscripts than CATMuS. They produce from moderate to good results.

Information on the combined HTR model (v0.1):
