| Abstract(in English) | Large print textbooks are used by low vision students in schools. Because it is mainly made by volunteers and almost all steps to make them are conducted manually, they cannot be mass-produced. Their chronic shortage has been a social problem in Japan. The procedure of making a large print textbook consists of (1) convert figures and characters in an original textbook to suitable ones for low vision students and (2) put them at appropriate positions in the pages. Among them, we propose a novel method which automatically optimizes the layout exploiting context structure. The context structure can be regarded as essence of an original textbook. We represent the context structure using a graph called context structure graph. The proposed method first allocates each material to an appropriate page. Then, it optimizes the layout of them in each page using the sequence-pair method. Throughout these operations, we employ an objective function derived from the context structure graph to ensure the context is preserved in a produced large print textbook. |
