    FACULTY OF ENGINEERING Department of Electronics and Informatics Video-based Tracking of Physical Documents on a Desk Graduation thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Applied Sciences and Engineering: Applied Computer Science Sone Nsime Ngole Promoter: Prof. Dr. Beat Signer Advisor: Dr. Bruno Dumas JANUARY 2014 FACULTEIT INGENIEURSWETENSCHAPPEN Vakgroep Elektronica en Informatica Video-based Tracking of Physical Documents on a Desk Afstudeer eindwerk ingediend in gedeeltelijke vervulling van de eisen voor het behalen van de graad Master of Science in de Ingenieurswetenschappen: Toegepaste Computerwetenschappen Sone Nsime Ngole Promoter: Prof. Dr. Beat Signer Advisors: Dr. Bruno Dumas JANUARI 2014 Abstract Currently, physical and digital documents tend to stay in their world, without any direct relationship linking them. How- ever, a lot of physical documents are printed from digital doc- uments and conversely, digital documents can be scanned ver- sions of printed papers. Furthermore, the organization of piles of physical documents on a desk hints at shared semantic fea- tures between a set of documents. This thesis explores an ap- proach to link or re-link physical documents with their digital counterpart. This integration will be done by designing a sys- tem that uses an overhead digital camera to recognize, identify, localize and track paper documents on the physical desk space in real time (or offline by means of a pre-recorded video stream) and automatically matching them against an image database of electronic documents. The system locates each paper docu- ment that is present on the desk and reconstructs a complete configuration of documents on the desk at each instant in time.

  • Diplomová Práce Inteligentní Vyhledávání Dokumentů
    Západočeská univerzita v Plzni Fakulta aplikovaných věd Katedra informatiky a výpočetní techniky Diplomová práce Inteligentní vyhledávání dokumentů Plzeň 2017 Jiří Martínek Místo této strany bude zadání práce. Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem diplomovou práci vypracoval samostatně a výhradně s použitím citovaných pramenů. V Plzni dne 16. května 2017 Jiří Martínek Poděkování Na tomto místě bych chtěl poděkovat svému vedoucímu diplomové práce doc. Ing. Pavlu Královi Ph.D. za odborné vedení, za pomoc a rady při zpracování této práce. Jiří Martínek Abstract This diploma thesis deals with information retrieval in a set of scanned documents in form of raster images. First, the images are converted into the text form using optical character recognition (OCR) methods. Unfortunately, there are errors in conversion, therefore another part of the work deals with error correction. This thesis propose several error correction methods that are combined to achieve the best possible results. Then, the corrected documents are indexed into the full-text Apache Solr database. The resulting application allows to efficiently find the requested document according to a full-text query. Error correction of the OCR output helps to increase the accuracy of full-text search. The accuracy of the system was experimentally verified on the real data. Abstrakt Tato diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou vyhledávání informací v množině naskenovaných dokumentů v podobě rastrových obrázků. Nejdříve je proto proveden převod rastrového obrázku do textové podoby pomocí metod optického rozpoznávání znaků (OCR). V rámci převodu bohužel dochází k chybám, proto se další část práce zabývá samotnou opravou chyb. V práci je navrženo několik metod oprav chyb, které jsou zkombinovány pro dosažení co nejlepšího výsledku.

Optical character recognition CAPTCHA. (OCR) method has been used in extracting the text from images. OCR has various applications which include extracting text from any document or image or involves just for reading and processing the text available in digital form. The accuracy of OCR can be dependent on text segmentation and pre-processing algorithms. Sometimes it is difficult to retrieve text from the image because of different size, style, orientation, a complex background of image etc. From vehicle number plate the authors tried to extract vehicle number by using various OCR tools like Tesseract, GOCR, Ocrad and Tensor flow. The authors in this research paper have tried to diagnose the best possible method for optical character recognition and have provided with a comparative analysis of their accuracy.

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.

  • Extracción De Eventos En Prensa Escrita Uruguaya Del Siglo XIX Por Pablo Anzorena Manuel Laguarda Bruno Olivera
    UNIVERSIDAD DE LA REPÚBLICA Extracción de eventos en prensa escrita Uruguaya del siglo XIX por Pablo Anzorena Manuel Laguarda Bruno Olivera Tutora: Regina Motz Informe de Proyecto de Grado presentado al Tribunal Evaluador como requisito de graduación de la carrera Ingeniería en Computación en la Facultad de Ingeniería ​ ​ 1 1. Resumen ​ ​ En este proyecto, se plantea el diseño y la implementación de un sistema de extracción de eventos en prensa uruguaya del siglo XIX digitalizados en formato de imagen, generando clusters de eventos agrupados según su similitud semántica. La solución propuesta se divide en 4 módulos: módulo de preprocesamiento compuesto por el OCR y un corrector de texto, módulo de extracción de eventos implementado en Python y utilizando Freeling1, módulo de clustering de eventos implementado en Python utilizando Word Embeddings y por último el módulo de etiquetado de los clusters también utilizando Python. Debido a la cantidad de ruido en los datos que hay en los diarios antiguos, la evaluación de la solución se hizo sobre datos de prensa digital de la actualidad. Se evaluaron diferentes medidas a lo largo del proceso. Para la extracción de eventos se logró conseguir una Precisión y Recall de un 56% y 70% respectivamente. En el caso del módulo de clustering se evaluaron las medidas de Silhouette Coefficient, la Pureza y la Entropía, dando 0.01, 0.57 y 1.41 respectivamente. Finalmente se etiquetaron los clusters utilizando como etiqueta las secciones de los diarios de la actualidad, realizándose una evaluación del etiquetado. 1 http://nlp.lsi.upc.edu/freeling/demo/demo.php 2 Índice general 1.
