Abstract

Charts are tools for data communication used in a wide range of documents. Recently, the pattern recognition community has shown interest in developing methods for automatically processing charts found in the wild. Following previous efforts on ICPR’s CHART-Infographics competitions, here we propose a newer, larger dataset and benchmark for analyzing and recognizing charts. Inspired by the steps required to make sense of a chart image, the benchmark is divided into 7 different tasks: chart image classification, chart text detection and recognition, text role classification, axis analysis, legend analysis, data extraction, and end-to-end data extraction. We also show the performance of different baselines for the first five tasks. We expect that the increased scale of the proposed dataset will enable the development of better chart recognition systems.
