Such text is frequently found in web images and is an important carrier of information indexing and retrieval on the web. Anti-aliasing is applied to smooth out edges and diagonals, thus making text more legible on computer screens. However, the anti-aliased characters are mostly connected and can not be segmented with common segmentation methods used in classical document analysis. Moreover, anti-aliasing produces contextual noise at the left and right sides of adjacent characters causing drastic deterioration in recognizing such characters, even if they have been segmented. The classical OCR systems are not capable to recognize such text, as they are basically designed for bilevel text with a resolution of more than 150 dpi, typically obtained using flat scanners. Several research works report on algorithms for detection and recognition of text embedded in web images. However, these works are often directed towards the implementation of front-end image processing methods in order to enhance the image quality and pass it through classical OCRs. The main contribution of the work presented here is about a novel approach to segment and recognize anti-aliased text at ultra low resolution (ULR) with small font sizes. The dedicated recognizer, presented in this thesis, can be directly applied on the detected and extracted anti- aliased text with no needs for using of cost-intensive pre-processing methods to enhance image quality to be recognized with classical OCRs. Several studies on single characters and words are presented in this report. We used syn- thetical character and words for all our studies. The ¯rst study aimed at choosing an adequate feature extraction methodology for anti-aliased low-resolution characters. The features that were selected are based on the computation of central moments which are translation invariant and convey su±cient spatial information from character shapes at ultra low resolution. The second study aimed at understanding the mutual influence of the connected characters in a word. In both studies, the recognition of characters is performed by computing an estimation of the probability density functions of central moment features using Gaussian based estimators. We could reach good Character Recognition Rates (CRR) of 99.93% for isolated characters. These results have shown that central moments are adequately discriminative. The CRRs for contextual characters were less accurate (98.45%) due to the contextual noise between adjacent iii iv ABSTRACT characters. On the other hand, these experiments have shown that we need an intrinsic model to simultaneously segment and recognize connected characters in ULR anti-aliased words with small font sizes. Therefore, hidden Markov models (HMMs) using a sliding window feature extraction have been chosen to build dedicated word recognizers. In addition, the insights of the previous studies have been bene¯cial to the design of the word recognizers. Furthermore, each word is modeled using the character models which are constrained by minimum and mixmum width constraints. The contextual noise is modeled as an inter-character state inserted between character models. Further optimizations of the HMM implementation have also been implemented to further in- crease the Word Recognition Rate (WRR), such as using mixture of Gaussian models instead of mono Gaussian models to estimate the emission probabilities. We have implemented two dedicated recognizers. The ¯rst one is a dictionary-based recog- nizer which can recognize up to 60'000 words. The second one is an open vocabulary recognizer that can recognize any arbitrary word in any language written in Latin alphabet. We performed experiments in a mono-font context and achieved a WRR of up to 97.56% for the dictionary based recognizer. We achieved an overall WRR of 97.43% for the open vocabulary recognizer. Furthermore, we assessed the performance of the open vocabulary recognizer in a multi-font context more speci¯cally as a sans serif and a serif recognizer. We achieved an overall WRR of 96.94% for both cases. Zusammenfassung In dieser Dissertation wird das Problem der Texterkennung in Anti-Aliased Bildern mit sehr tiefer Aufl¨osungvon 72 bis 100 dpi und bei SchriftgrÄossenzwischen 7 bis 12 Punkten behandelt. Solche Texte kommen hÄau¯gin Bildern im Web vor. Da die darin enthaltenen textlichen In- formationen von grosser semantischer Bedeutung sein kÄonnen,verbessert eine ausreichend gute Erkennung die QualitÄatder Indexierung und erhÄoht auch die Gewinnung von Informationen bei automatischen inhaltsbasierten Suchsystemen. Anti-Aliasing ist eine Technik, die zur Verbesserung der Lesbarkeit bei einer limitierten Anzahl von Pixeln verwendet wird. Dabei werden die Pixel in Graustufen dargestellt und ermÄoglichen damit eine bessere Erkennbarkeit, speziell bei Kanten und Diagonalen. Anti- Aliasing fÄuhrtaber auch dazu, dass ein Teil der einzelnen Buchstaben auf jeweils beiden Seiten miteinander verschmilzt. Diese Verschmelzung fÄuhrtdazu, dass die einzelnen Buchstaben nicht mehr mit den bekannten Segmentierungsmethoden der klassischen Dokumentanalyse aufschlÄussel- bar sind. ZusÄatzlich erzeugt diese Technik ein so genanntes "kontextliches Rauschen", sowohl auf der linken wie auch auf der rechten Seite der einzelnen Buchstaben. Dieses Rauschen fÄuhrtzu einer deutlichen Verschlechterung der Schrifterkennungsrate selbst dann, wenn die Buchstaben eines jeden Wortes vorgÄangigsegmentiert worden sind. Die klassischen OCR-Systeme sind nicht in der Lage, solche Texte ausreichend zu erkennen, da sie grundsÄatzlich zum Erkennen von Scans aus gedrucktem Text mit einer minimalen Aufl¨osungvon 150 dpi entworfen worden sind. In der Literatur ¯ndet man so auch zahlreiche Artikel, die von der Extraktion und Erkennung von Tex- ten in Web-Bildern handeln. Diese Arbeiten konzentrieren sich aber fast ausschliesslich auf die Textextraktion und die ErhÄohung der Aufl¨osungdes extrahierten Textbildes mittels Anwendung diverser Preprocessing Techniken. Die somit erhaltenen Textbilder werden dann anschliessend mittels eines kommerziellen OCR Softwares erkannt. Die hier vorgestellte Arbeit verwendet einen neuartigen Ansatz, sowohl fÄurdie Segmentierung wie auch fÄurdie Erkennung von Anti-Aliased Texten in Bildern mit sehr niedriger Aufl¨osung auch bei kleinen Schriften. Die hier eingesetzten Methoden werden direkt auf den extrahierten Anti-Aliased Text angewendet und verwenden somit auch keine Preprocessing Methoden zur Verbesserung

  • Thai Typefaces (Part 1): Assumption on Visibility and Legibility Problems
    Thai Typefaces (Part 1): Assumption on Visibility and Legibility Problems 1* 2 3 Rachapoom PUNSONGSERM , Shoji SUNAGA , Hisayasu IHARA 1 Graduate School of Design, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan 1 Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Thammasat University, Pathum Thani, Thailand 2,3 Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan Abstract Background Regarding the growing elderly population, which several countries are experiencing right now, various typeface designs have been developed to address the need for increased legibility and visibility. Certainly, common factors that affect the well-being of the elderly are related to visual acuity. The universal design fonts (UD fonts) developed in Japan are regarded as a role model for the development of highly legible and visible Thai typefaces. As Thailand’s society matures, the concern for creating a Thai UD font based on human-centered design is ideal for the purpose of supporting elderly people as well as people with amblyopia and low vision Methods As the first step to developing a Thai UD font, as a preliminary study, we qualitatively tested the tolerance of Thai characters under blurred conditions. We used the fifty Thai conventional text fonts in the boundary of ‘The Table of Thai Character's Relationship’ in the same character heights as stimuli. The stimuli simulated the visual acuity of people with poor vision at different blur levels. Results From the tests, we have established the expected Thai confused pairs, as the assumptions. We found the simulated condition revealed many problems with the visibility and the legibility matters of Thai Characters, as the assumptions; however, these findings led to ideas and possible solutions, which may provide assistance for the approach to designing the first Thai UD font.

  • The File Cmfonts.Fdd for Use with Latex2ε
    The file cmfonts.fdd for use with LATEX 2".∗ Frank Mittelbach Rainer Sch¨opf 2019/12/16 This file is maintained byA theLTEX Project team. Bug reports can be opened (category latex) at https://latex-project.org/bugs.html. 1 Introduction This file contains the external font information needed to load the Computer Modern fonts designed by Don Knuth and distributed with TEX. From this file all .fd files (font definition files) for the Computer Modern fonts, both with old encoding (OT1) and Cork encoding (T1) are generated. The Cork encoded fonts are known under the name ec fonts. 2 Customization If you plan to install the AMS font package or if you have it already installed, please note that within this package there are additional sizes of the Computer Modern symbol and math italic fonts. With the release of LATEX 2", these AMS `extracm' fonts have been included in the LATEX font set. Therefore, the math .fd files produced here assume the presence of these AMS extensions. For text fonts in T1 encoding, the directive new selects the new (version 1.2) DC fonts. For the text fonts in OT1 and U encoding, the optional docstrip directive ori selects a conservatively generated set of font definition files, which means that only the basic font sizes coming with an old LATEX 2.09 installation are included into the \DeclareFontShape commands. However, on many installations, people have added missing sizes by scaling up or down available Metafont sources. For example, the Computer Modern Roman italic font cmti is only available in the sizes 7, 8, 9, and 10pt.

  • Vision Performance Institute
    Vision Performance Institute Technical Report Individual character legibility James E. Sheedy, OD, PhD Yu-Chi Tai, PhD John Hayes, PhD The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the legibility of individual characters. Previous work in our lab [2], including the first study in this sequence, has studied the relative legibility of fonts with different anti- aliasing techniques or other presentation medias, such as paper. These studies have tested the relative legibility of a set of characters configured with the tested conditions. However the relative legibility of individual characters within the character set has not been studied. While many factors seem to affect the legibility of a character (e.g., character typeface, character size, image contrast, character rendering, the type of presentation media, the amount of text presented, viewing distance, etc.), it is not clear what makes a character more legible when presenting in one way than in another. In addition, the importance of those different factors to the legibility of one character may not be held when the same set of factors was presented in another character. Some characters may be more legible in one typeface and others more legible in another typeface. What are the character features that affect legibility? For example, some characters have wider openings (e.g., the opening of “c” in Calibri is wider than the character “c” in Helvetica); some letter g’s have double bowls while some have single (e.g., “g” in Batang vs. “g” in Verdana); some have longer ascenders or descenders (e.g., “b” in Constantia vs.
