This paper publishes a natural and very complicated dataset of handwritten documents with multiply oriented and curved text lines, namely VML-MOC dataset. These text lines were written as remarks on the page margins by different writers over the years. They appear at different locations within the orientations that range between 0 and 180 or as curvilinear forms. We evaluate a multi-oriented Gaussian based method to segment these handwritten text lines that are skewed or curved in any orientation. It achieves a mean pixel Intersection over Union score of 80.96 compared with the results of a single-oriented Gaussian based text line segmentation method.
