About

The GBN Dataset (German-Brazilian historical Newspapers Dataset)

The GBN Dataset (Part 1 and Part 2)[1] consists of 102 page images from eight different German-Brazilian historical newspapers, along with their binarized images and ground files. It is a dataset created for evaluation of layout analysis methods.

Complex layouts, poor preservation conditions of the paper, old spelling, different font sizes and the presence of multiple languages in the same page are some of the challenges of historical newspaper layout analysis that are present in the GBN Dataset. There are also pages with a slightly transparent paper and some blurs, which makes the dataset more challenging.

The dataset samples belong to the dbp digital collection from the dokumente.br initiative which has as one of the goals to digitally reconstruct the complete collection of these newspapers.

The pages of eight different newspaper titles were scanned at 600 dpi and are available in PNG format. The following table shows the composition and distribution of these images from the dataset.

Newspaper Title Publishing date Script Language Image size (in pixels)
“Der Gemeindebote” 1935-1938 Fraktur German 3850 x 5480
“Der Jugendfreund” 1911-1917 Fraktur German from 2650 x 3950 to 5320 x 8050
“Der Pioner” 1888-1891 Fraktur / Latin Portuguese / German 7100 x 10590
“Der Sandwirt” 1934-1940 Fraktur German 4250 x 6020
“Evangelissch-Lutherisches Kirchenblatt” 1916-1919 Fraktur German 2590 x 3690
“Kolonie Zeitung” 1863-1889 Fraktur / Latin Portuguese / German

5470 x 7010

6700 x 8400

7050 x 9300

“Gemeindeblatt” 1938 Fraktur German 3850 x 5870
“Heimatbote” 1936 Fraktur German 3850 x 5480

The GBN Dataset is composed of:

  • grayscale images of the pages;
  • ground truth files for each of them (XML PAGE[2]).
    The XML PAGE files were produced with the Aletheia software and contain the geometric representation of different classes (e.g. text, image, graphic or separator regions) of each region of the page.

How to obtain the origin Dataset

The GBN dataset is released for academic research only and is free to researchers from educational or research institutes for non-commercial purposes.
