  • Multimedia Foundations Glossary of Terms Chapter 8 – Text
    Multimedia Foundations Glossary of Terms Chapter 8 – Text Ascender Any part of a lowercase character that extends above the x-height, such as in the vertical stem of the letter b or h. Baseline And imaginary plane where the bottom edge of each character’s main body rests. Baseline Shift Refers to shifting the base of certain characters (up or down) to a new position. Capline An imaginary line denoting the tops of uppercase letters. Counter The enclosed or partially enclosed open area in letters such as O and G. Descender Any part of a character that extends below the baseline; such as in the bottom stroke of a y or p. Flush Left The alignment of text along a common left-edged line. Font Family A collection of related fonts – all of the bolds, italics, and so forth, in their various sizes. Gridline A matrix of evenly spaced vertical and horizontal lines that are superimposed overtop of the design window as a visual aid for aligning objects. Justification The term used when both the left and right edges of a paragraph are vertically aligned. Kerning A technique that selectively varies the amount of space between a single pair of letters and accounts for letter shape; allowing letters like A and V to extend into one another’s virtual blocks. Leading A term used to define the amount of space between vertically adjacent lines of text. Legibility Refers to a typeface’s characteristics and can change depending on font size. The more legible a typeface, the easier it is at a glance to distinguish and identify letters, numbers, and symbols.

  • Optical Character Recognition - a Combined ANN/HMM Approach
    Optical Character Recognition - A Combined ANN/HMM Approach Dissertation submitted to the Department of Computer Science Technical University of Kaiserslautern for the fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) by Sheikh Faisal Rashid Dean: Prof. Dr. Klaus Schneider Thesis supervisors: Prof. Dr. Thomas Breuel, TU Kaiserslautern Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, TU Kaiserslautern Chair of supervisory committee: Prof. Dr. Karsten Berns, TU Kaiserslautern Kaiserslautern, 11 July, 2014 D 386 Abstract Optical character recognition (OCR) of machine printed text is ubiquitously considered as a solved problem. However, error free OCR of degraded (broken and merged) and noisy text is still challenging for modern OCR systems. OCR of degraded text with high accuracy is very important due to many applications in business, industry and large scale document digitization projects. This thesis presents a new OCR method for degraded text recognition by introducing a combined ANN/HMM OCR approach. The approach provides significantly better performance in comparison with state-of-the-art HMM based OCR methods and existing open source OCR systems. In addition, the thesis introduces novel applications of ANNs and HMMs for document image preprocessing and recognition of low resolution text. Furthermore, the thesis provides psychophysical experiments to determine the effect of letter permutation in visual word recognition of Latin and Cursive script languages. HMMs and ANNs are widely employed pattern recognition paradigms and have been used in numerous pattern classification problems. This work presents a simple and novel method for combining the HMMs and ANNs in application to segmentation free OCR of degraded text. HMMs and ANNs are powerful pattern recognition strategies and their combination is interesting to improve current state-of-the-art research in OCR.

  • National Diploma in Calligraphy Helpful Hints for FOUNDATION Diploma Module A
    National Diploma in Calligraphy Helpful hints for FOUNDATION Diploma Module A THE LETTERFORM ANALYSIS “In A4 format make an analysis of the letter-forms of an historical manuscript which reflects your chosen basic hand. Your analysis should include x-height, letter formation and construction, heights of ascenders and descenders, etc. This can be in the form of notes added to enlarged photocopies of a relevant historical manuscript, together with your own lettering studies” At this first level, you will be working with one basic hand only and its associated capitals. This will be either Foundational (Roundhand) in which case study the Ramsey Psalter, or Formal Italic, where you can study a hand by Arrighi or Francisco Lucas, or other fine Italian scribe. Find enlarged detailed illustrations from ‘Historical Scripts by Stan Knight, or A Book of Scripts, by A Fairbank, or search the internet. Stan Knight’s book is the ‘bible’ because the enlargements are clear and at least 5mm or larger body height – this is the ideal. Show by pencil lines & measurements on the enlargement how you have worked out the pen angle, nib-widths, ascender & descender heights and shape of O, arch formations etc, use a separate sheet to write down this information, perhaps as numbered or bullet points, such as: 1. Pen angle 2. 'x'height 3. 'o'form 4, 5,6 Number of strokes to each letter, their order, direction: - make a general observation, and then refer the reader to the alphabet (s) you will have written (see below), on which you will have added the stroke order and directions to each letter by numbered pencil arrows.

  • Special Characters in Aletheia
    Special Characters in Aletheia Last Change: 28 May 2014 The following table comprises all special characters which are currently available through the virtual keyboard integrated in Aletheia. The virtual keyboard aids re-keying of historical documents containing characters that are mostly unsupported in other text editing tools (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Text input dialogue with virtual keyboard in Aletheia 1.2 Due to technical reasons, like font definition, Aletheia uses only precomposed characters. If required for other applications the mapping between a precomposed character and the corresponding decomposed character sequence is given in the table as well. When writing to files Aletheia encodes all characters in UTF-8 (variable-length multi-byte representation). Key: Glyph – the icon displayed in the virtual keyboard. Unicode – the actual Unicode character; can be copied and pasted into other applications. Please note that special characters might not be displayed properly if there is no corresponding font installed for the target application. Hex – the hexadecimal code point for the Unicode character Decimal – the decimal code point for the Unicode character Description – a short description of the special character Origin – where this character has been defined Base – the base character of the special character (if applicable), used for sorting Combining Character – combining character(s) to modify the base character (if applicable) Pre-composed Character Decomposed Character (used in Aletheia) (only for reference) Combining Glyph

  • 2.1 Typography
    Working With Type FUN ROB MELTON BENSON POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL WITH PORTLAND, OREGON TYPE Points and picas If you are trying to measure something very short or very thin, then inches are not precise enough. Originally English printers devised picas to precisely measure the width of type and points to precise- ly measure the height of type. Now those terms are used interchangeably. There are 12 points in one pica, 6 picas in one inch — or 72 points in one inch. This is a 1-point line (or rule). 72 of these would be one inch thick. This is a 12-point rule. It is 1 pica thick. Six of these would be one inch thick. POINTS PICAS INCHES Thickness of rules I Lengths of rules Lengths of stories I Sizes of type (headlines, text, IWidths of text, photos, cutlines, IDepths of photos and ads cutlines, etc.) gutters, etc. (though some publications use IAll measurements smaller than picas for photo depths) a pica. Type sizes Type is measured in points. Body type is 7–12 point type, while display type starts at 14 point and goes to 127 point type. Traditionally, standard point sizes are 14, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and 72. Using a personal computer, you can create headlines in one-point increments beginning at 4 point and going up to 650 point. Most page designers still begin with these standard sizes. The biggest headline you are likely to see is a 72 pt. head and it is generally reserved for big stories on broadsheet newspapers.

Baseline – The line on which most of the characters in a typeface rest. Body Text – The bulk of the text in a document. The body text should be set in an easy-to-read face, usually at 10- or 12-point size. Boldface – A darker typeface with thicker strokes so that it will stand out on the page typically used for headlines. Condensed – A narrower version of a font used to maximize number of characters in a given space. Copyfitting – The means of adjusting the size and spacing of type to make it fit within a defined area of the page. Descender – The part of lowercase letters (such as g and p) that fall below, or descend, the baseline of the other lowercase letters. Dingbats – Decorative typefaces that consist of symbol characters such as arrows, ampersands, and bullets. Display Font – A font that has been designed to look good at large point sizes, often for use in headlines. Face – Describes the style of a face. For example, the italic style of the Times Roman family is a face.
