Query: Palmira: A Deep Deformable Network for Instance Segmentation of Dense
  and Uneven Layouts in Handwritten Manuscripts   Handwritten documents are often characterized by dense and uneven layout.
Despite advances, standard deep network based approaches for semantic layout
segmentation are not robust to complex deformations seen across semantic
regions. This phenomenon is especially pronounced for the low-resource Indic
palm-leaf manuscript domain. To address the issue, we first introduce
Indiscapes2, a new large-scale diverse dataset of Indic manuscripts with
semantic layout annotations. Indiscapes2 contains documents from four different
historical collections and is 150% larger than its predecessor, Indiscapes. We
also propose a novel deep network Palmira for robust, deformation-aware
instance segmentation of regions in handwritten manuscripts. We also report
Hausdorff distance and its variants as a boundary-aware performance measure.
Our experiments demonstrate that Palmira provides robust layouts, outperforms
strong baseline approaches and ablative variants. We also include qualitative
results on Arabic, South-East Asian and Hebrew historical manuscripts to
showcase the generalization capability of Palmira.
