Certifiable optical character recognition
Daniel Lopresti, Jonathan S. Sandberg · 2002
A general-purpose approach for enhancing the accuracy of optical character recognition is described. By taking the view that the printed page is a data transmission channel, the authors raise the possibility of error detecting/correcting codes designed specifically for the OCR process. They present experimental results that demonstrate the feasibility of fully automated, 100% accurate OCR for computer typeset documents.>
