Introducing TextImage Augmentation for Document Images
Hugging Face introduces a TextImage augmentation library for document images, aimed at improving model robustness for document understanding tasks. The tooling applies transformations such as noise, blur, and distortion to document images to simulate real-world scanning and printing artifacts. This is relevant to training and fine-tuning vision-language models on document datasets.
