  • New Features in Mpdf V6.0
    NewNew FeaturesFeatures inin mPDFmPDF v6.0v6.0 Advanced Typography Many TrueType fonts contain OpenType Layout (OTL) tables. These Advanced Typographic tables contain additional information that extend the capabilities of the fonts to support high-quality international typography: ● OTL fonts support ligatures, positional forms, alternates, and other substitutions. ● OTL fonts include information to support features for two-dimensional positioning and glyph attachment. ● OTL fonts contain explicit script and language information, so a text-processing application can adjust its behavior accordingly. mPDF 6 introduces the power and flexibility of the OpenType Layout font model into PDF. mPDF 6 supports GSUB, GPOS and GDEF tables for now. mPDF 6 does not support BASE and JSTF at present. Other mPDF 6 features to enhance complex scripts: ● improved Bidirectional (Bidi) algorithm for right-to-left (RTL) text ● support for Kashida for justification of arabic scripts ● partial support for CSS3 optional font features e.g. font-feature-settings, font-variant ● improved "autofont" capability to select fonts automatically for any script ● support for CSS :lang selector ● dictionary-based line-breaking for Lao, Thai and Khmer (U+200B is also supported) ● separate algorithm for Tibetan line-breaking Note: There are other smart-font technologies around to deal with complex scripts, namely Graphite fonts (SIL International) and Apple Advanced Typography (AAT by Apple/Mac). mPDF 6 does not support these. What can OTL Fonts do? Support for OTL fonts allows the faithful display of almost all complex scripts: (ܐSyriac ( ,(שלום) Hebrew ,(اﻟﺴﻼم ﻋﻠﻴﻢ) Arabic ● ● Indic - Bengali (ামািলকুম), Devanagari (नमते), Gujarati (નમતે), Punjabi (ਸਿਤ ਸੀ ਅਕਾਲ), Kannada ( ), Malayalam (നമെ), Oriya (ନମସ୍କର), Tamil (வணக்கம்), Telugu ( ) ನಮ ជប​សួរំ నమరం ● Sinhala (ආයුෙඛා්වන්), Thai (สวัสดี), Lao (ສະບາຍດີ), Khmer ( ), Myanmar (မဂလပၝ), Tibetan (བ་ས་བ་གས།) Joining and Reordering র + ◌্ + খ + ◌্ + ম + ◌্ + ক + ◌্ + ষ + ◌্ + র + ি◌ + ◌ু = িু cf.

  • Image File Formats, Digital Archival and TI/A
    Image File Formats, Digital Archival and TI/A Peter Fornaro & Lukas Rosenthaler A Short Introduction into Image File Formats 1 1 Introduction In general, long-term archival of digital data is a difficult task. On one hand the media, where the digital data is recorded on may be instable and decay with time. On the other hand, the rapid evolution cycle of digital technologies which is measured in years or even months leads to the obsolescence of recording technologies at a fast pace. Old1 data carriers may not be read anymore because the necessary machinery (tape reader, disk interface etc.) is no longer commercially available. Also, the the information about the file formats – that is the information about the meaning of the bits – may be lost because new formats have become standard. Thus, digital archiving is basically the task of guaranteeing the meaningful reading and decoding of bits in the far future. This task can be divided into parts: Bitstream preservation It has to be guaranteed that the bits which are basically analogue symbols on a analogue medium2 can be correctly detected. Since most often the permanence of the bits is higher than the lifetime of a given recording technology, bitstream preservation is basically limited by the obsolescence of a given recording technologies. Thus, copying the bits onto a new data carrier using the latest technology just before a recording technology becomes obsolete will preserve the bitstream. This task called bitstream migration has to be repeated every 3 - 5 years. Since a bitstream can be copied without information loss and the copies will be identical to the “original”, this process can be repeated an indefinite number of times (contrary to analogue copies where each generation is affected by more degradation until all information is lost).

University of Central Florida, 2000 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2004 ABSTRACT This thesis is a benchmark performed on three commercial Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines. The purpose of this benchmark is to characterize the performance of the OCR engines with emphasis on the correlation of errors between each engine. The benchmarks are performed for the evaluation of the effect of a multi-OCR system employing a voting scheme to increase overall recognition accuracy. This is desirable since currently OCR systems are still unable to recognize characters with 100% accuracy.
