Towards Letter Shape Prior and Paleographic Tables Estimation in Hebrew First Temple Period Ostraca
HIP '17: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and ProcessingPages 13–18https://doi.org/10.1145/3151509.3151511The problem of finding a prototype for typewritten or handwritten characters belongs to a family of "shape prior" estimation problems. In epigraphic research, such priors are derived manually, and constitute the building blocks of "paleographic tables". ...

Glyph Miner: A System for Efficiently Extracting Glyphs from Early Prints in the Context of OCR
JCDL '16: Proceedings of the 16th ACM/IEEE-CS on Joint Conference on Digital LibrariesPages 31–34https://doi.org/10.1145/2910896.2910915While off-the-shelf OCR systems work well on many modern documents, the heterogeneity of early prints provides a significant challenge. To achieve good recognition quality, existing software must be "trained" specifically to each particular corpus. This ...

Glyph extraction from historic document images
DocEng '10: Proceedings of the 10th ACM symposium on Document engineeringPages 227–230https://doi.org/10.1145/1860559.1860609This paper is about the reproduction of ancient texts with vectorised fonts. While for OCR only recognition rates count, a reproduction process does not necessarily require the recognition of characters. Our system aims at extracting all characters from ...
