Background:

Text-line extraction from unconstrained handwritten documents is difficult due to variations in character scale, text orientation, and line interference.
Existing methods struggle to accurately segment text lines in complex handwritten documents.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a new cost function for improved text-line extraction in handwritten documents.
To address challenges of nonuniform character scale, varying text orientation, and text line interference.

Main Methods:

Proposed a novel cost function incorporating text line interactions and curvilinearity.
Introduced normalized measures based on estimated line spacing.
Developed an optimization method tailored to the new cost function's properties.
