We address this problem by proposing a method (<em>ComFig<\/em>) to automatically classify and separate compound figures, which consists of two main steps: (i) a supervised compound figure classifier (<em>ComFig classifier<\/em>) discriminates between compound and non-compound figures using task-specific image features; and (ii) an image processing algorithm is applied to predicted compound images to perform compound figure separation (<em>ComFig separation<\/em>). The proposed ComFig classifier is shown to achieve state-of-the-art classification performance on a published dataset. Our ComFig separation algorithm shows superior separation accuracy on two different datasets compared to other known automatic approaches. Finally, we propose a method to evaluate the effectiveness of the <em>ComFig chain<\/em> combining classifier and separation algorithm, and use it to optimize the misclassification loss of the ComFig classifier for maximal effectiveness in the chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s11042-016-4237-x\"><span id=\"doi-url\" class=\"bibliographic-information__value u-overflow-wrap\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s11042-016-4237-x<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bibtex citation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>@Article{Taschwer2018,\r\n\u00a0 Title\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {Automatic separation of compound figures in scientific articles},\r\n\u00a0 Author\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {Taschwer, Mario and Marques, Oge},\r\n\u00a0 Journal\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {Multimedia Tools and Applications},\r\n\u00a0 Year\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {2018},\r\n\u00a0 Month\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {Jan},\r\n\u00a0 Number\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {1},\r\n\u00a0 Pages\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {519--548},\r\n\u00a0 Volume\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {77},\r\n\u00a0 Doi\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = {10.1007\/s11042-016-4237-x},\r\n  ISSN                     = {1573-7721}\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We submitted extended work on compound figure separation to the MTAP Journal.
