There are thousands  of research papers and dozens of OCR products. \u003cem\u003eOptical Character\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eRcognition: An Illustrated Guide to the Frontier\u003c\/em\u003e offers a  perspective on the performance of current OCR systems by illustrating  and explaining actual OCR errors. The pictures and analysis provide  insight into the strengths and weaknesses of current OCR systems, and  a road map to future progress. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOptical Character Recognition: An Illustrated Guide to the  Frontier\u003c\/em\u003e will pique the interest of users and developers of OCR  products and desktop scanners, as well as teachers and students of  pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and information  retrieval. The first chapter compares the character recognition  abilities of humans and computers. The next four chapters present 280  illustrated examples of recognition errors, in a taxonomy consisting  of Imaging Defects, Similar Symbols, Punctuation, and Typography.  These examples were drawn from large-scale tests conducted by the  authors. The final chapter discusses possible approaches for improving  the accuracy of today's systems, and is followed by an annotated  bibliography. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOptical Character Recognition: An Illustrated Guide to the  Frontier\u003c\/em\u003e is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level  course on pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and  information retrieval, and as a reference for researchers and  practitioners in industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792384922\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5021-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 196\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578421141644,"sku":"9780792384922","price":161.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792384922.jpg?v=1775709059","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792384922","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
