About ACID

ACID is an interactive software for visualizing and classifying big document image databases

Most of document image analysis systems (for a classification or a retrieval task) provide a very basic visualization interface where images are displayed and browsed sequentially. When databases are composed of many thousands of document images that kind of basic interfaces are really difficult to handle for a user.

ACID allows to visualize and browse a document image database as a graph and provides many visual indicators to focus the operator attention on potential errors.

The way ACID works is fully detailed in a paper presented in ICDAR2015

TEST ACID

ACID software

                        #Install docker package
                        sudo apt-get install docker.io
                        sudo addgroup $USER docker #need to restart the session to be part of docker group
                        #Download ACID sources (SIZE MO)
                        wget http:///acid.labri.fr/data/acid.tar.gz
                        tar -xzf acid.tar.gz

                        #If needed, in the Dockerfile, replace the package "nvidia-331-updates" by the one installed on the host
                        #Compile ACID
                        #Between 10 minutes and 45 minutes according download speed and computer performances
                        cd ACID
                        ./docker.sh build
                        #To Test ACID
                        ./docker.sh run
