PixLabeler
PixLabeler is a research tool for labeling elements in a
document image at a pixel level. PixLabeler can be used to
produce groundtruth data for training and evaluating algorithms.  For example, the foreground pixels in a bitonal image can be colored blue, cyan, and red to represent machine print, graphics, and handwriting, respectively.
