  Introduction
  CLE Urdu Image Corpus for 16 Point Size is an image corpus collected from one hundred and three books written in Noori Nastalique writing style. The selected books have coverage of Urdu character set, Urdu digits, Latin digits, English characters, Urdu aerab and special symbols of Urdu. The variety of publisher, publication date, paper, printing and transparency qualities have also been ensured during the selection of books. These books have been selected from different domains (if available) such as literature, poetry, religion, biography, novel, interviews, culture/travel, history, autobiography, science, short stories and character representation. At least five pages from each book are scanned at 300 DPI. Both gray scale and binary formats (if possible) of five hundred and thirty one (531) images have been generated. Edited (cropped) and unedited versions of each format are maintained to facilitate researchers who want to do research for the page frame detection of Urdu document images and also for the researchers who just want to process the images. The complete information (page number, domain, print quality, paper quality, transparency etc.) about each scanned page of the book is maintained in separate file. Typed corpus of images is also available at CLE Urdu Text Corpus 16 Point Size.
