Talk Abstract:
Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used to convert books and documents into electronic files, to computerize a record-keeping system in an office, or to publish the text on a website. OCR makes it possible to edit the text, search for a word or phrase, store it more compactly, display or print a copy free of scanning artifacts, and apply techniques such as machine translation, text-to-speech and text mining to it. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
OCR systems require calibration to read a specific font; early versions needed to be programmed with images of each character, and worked on one font at a time. "Intelligent" systems with a high degree of recognition accuracy for most fonts are now common. Some systems are capable of reproducing formatted output that closely approximates the original scanned page including images, columns and other non-textual components.
Speaker Bio:
Arved Hübler, born in 1960 in Bonn, studied Physics in Heidelberg and Berlin. His Ph.D. thesis dealt with the Yule-Nielsen effect, a color shift in screened printed images. With his academic degree Hübler joined the Bertelsmann Group, a leading media house. After different positions, he was technical director at Mohndruck in Gütersloh, the largest printing plant in Europe for nearly three years. 1997 he assumed the chair of the professorship Print and Media Technology at Chemnitz University of Technology.
