# IAM Dataset (Corrected & Reformatted)
A corrected and structured version of the IAM Handwriting Database, for text detection and text recognition tasks.
This dataset offers segmentation for both line and word level.

## Data fields
- `filename`: name of the image file
- `line_id`: list of line identifiers
- `line_text`: text list containing the text of each line
- `line_bboxes`: list of bounding boxes of each line (x, y, X, Y)
- `word_id`: list of word identifiers
- `word_text`: text list containing the text of each word
- `word_bboxes`: list of bounding boxes of each word (x, y, X, Y)

Each field is sorted from top-left to bottom-right.
