• Abstract summary: Optical character recognition system basically converts printed images into editable texts for better storage and usability. To be completely functional, the system needs to go through some crucial methods such as pre-processing and segmentation. Our proposed algorithm is able to segment characters both from ideal and non-ideal cases of scanned or captured images.

• Abstract: In a world of digitization, optical character recognition holds the automation to written history. Optical character recognition system basically converts printed images into editable texts for better storage and usability. To be completely functional, the system needs to go through some crucial methods such as pre-processing and segmentation. Pre-processing helps printed data to be noise free and gets rid of skewness efficiently whereas segmentation helps the image fragment into line, word and character precisely for better conversion. These steps hold the door to better accuracy and consistent results for a printed image to be ready for conversion. Our proposed algorithm is able to segment characters both from ideal and non-ideal cases of scanned or captured images giving a sustainable outcome.

  Scene text recognition (STR) pre-training methods have achieved remarkable progress, primarily relying on synthetic datasets. We introduce a novel method named Decoder Pre-training with only text for STR (DPTR) DPTR treats text embeddings produced by the CLIP text encoder as pseudo visual embeddings and uses them to pre-train the decoder.

  This paper evaluates the impact of image processing methods and parameter tuning in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) The approach uses a multi-objective problem formulation to minimize Levenshtein edit distance and maximize the number of words correctly identified with a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) Our findings suggest that employing image pre-processing algorithms in OCR might be more suitable for typologies where the text recognition task without pre-processing does not produce good results.
