A lot of printed documents and books has been published and saved as a form of images in digital libraries. Searching for
a specified query word on document images is a challenging problem. The OCR software helps the images to be converted to the
machine readable documents to search a full context [1]. Another approach [1, 2] is image-based one, in which both the document
images and word information are saved in a database. The searching procedure is accomplished through comparing the features
of query word image with the word images extracted from document images in the database. In this paper, we propose an accurate
and fast keyword spotting system for searching user-specified keyword in Hangul document images by a two-level image-to-image
matching method.
