VKOL Outer Crop v1

vkol_outer_crop_v1.pt is a Cropilot crop model trained for detecting outer page crop regions in VKOL digitization workflows (Olomouc Research Library, Czechia).

The model is published here as a reusable model artifact. The surrounding aicrop project is a private VKOL implementation and deployment repository. It contains local Docker configuration, operational scripts, and institution-specific workflow glue, and is not currently published as a public dependency for this model.

Intended Use

The model is intended for semi-automated crop detection in a Cropilot/Ořezy workflow:

1. Working JPEG derivatives are created from original TIFF scans.
2. Cropilot runs AI detection using this crop model.
3. A human operator reviews and corrects the detected coordinates in the Cropilot editor.
4. Final crops are applied to the original TIFF scans by the local production tooling.

The model predicts crop regions only. It does not create final archival TIFF files and does not perform color management, metadata handling, compression, or output delivery.

Recommended Integration

Typical VKOL/Cropilot settings:

• Crop model: outer_crop or another local alias pointing to this file
• Rotation model: text
• Input for detection: downscaled working JPEG derivatives
• Final production input: original TIFF scans

Training Data

The model was trained or fine-tuned from VKOL Cropilot annotations and/or local YOLO datasets prepared from digitization material. The training data is not included in this repository.

Because the training data reflects local production material and annotation conventions, the model should be treated as domain-specific rather than a general-purpose document layout model.

Limitations

• Detection quality depends on scan type, derivative resolution, contrast, skew, page borders, and local annotation conventions.
• The model may not generalize well to unrelated collections without validation or further fine-tuning.
• Human review in Cropilot is recommended before producing final archival output.
• Final image conversion steps should be handled by the downstream production pipeline.
