Abstract
This paper deals with the topic of performance evaluation of the symbol recognition & spotting systems. It presents an overview as a result of the work and the discussions undertaken by a working group on this subject. The paper starts by giving a general view of symbol recognition & spotting and performance evaluation. Next, the two main issues of performance evaluation are discussed: groundtruthing and performance characterization. Different problems related to both issues are addressed: groundtruthing of real documents, generation of synthetic documents, degradation models, the use of a priori knowledge, mapping of the groundtruth with the system results, and so on. Open problems arising from this overview are also discussed at the end of the paper.
