Text baseline detection, a single page trained system

•A fast and robust to nosily manuscripts, text baseline detection method is proposed.•The local minima of the text contours are considered as interest points.•An Extremely Randomized Trees forest is used to classify the interest points.•A modified version of Dbscan is used to cluster these points into baselines.•Roughly, 3 s on average to automatically estimate the baselines of each page.
