Extracting Precise Data from PDF Documents for Mathematical Formula Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
As more and more scientific documents become available in PDF format, their automatic analysis becomes increasingly important. We present a procedure that extracts mathematical symbols from PDF documents by examining both the original PDF file and a rasterised version. This provides more precise information than is available either directly from the PDF file or by traditional character recognition techniques. The data can then be used to improve mathematical parsing methods that transform the mathematics into richer formats such as MathML.

متن کاملA Linear Grammar Approach to Mathematical Formula Recognition from PDF
Many approaches have been proposed over the years for the recognition of mathematical formulae from scanned documents. More recently a need has arisen to recognise formulae from PDF documents. Here we can avoid ambiguities introduced by traditional OCR approaches and instead extract perfect knowledge of the characters used in formulae directly from the document. This can be exploited by formula...
متن کاملMathematical Formula Recognition Based on Modified Recursive Projection Profile Cutting and Labeling with Double Linked List
Recognizing mathematical expression is important to reduce time in converting image-based documents like PDF to text-based documents that are easy to use and edit. In case of general character recognition, the sequence of character segmentation is from left to right, and from top to bottom. However, mathematical expression is a kind of twodimension visual language. Thus, segmentation is more co...
متن کاملA Preprocessing and Analyzing Method of Images in PDF Documents for Mathematical Expression Retrieval
PDF documents are the important information resources for a mathematical expression retrieval system. As a major component of PDF documents, the image objects must be converted to coded form with the help of character recognition and document analysis technology firstly for content based searching. Therefore, the quality of these images becomes the key factor which decides the correctness in th...
متن کاملExtracting anchorable information units from PDF files
Document processing and understanding is important for a variety of applications such as office automation, creation of electronic manuals, online documentation and annotation etc. The first step towards this process often involves the extraction of relevant keywords and phrases from the documents so that they can be automatically hyperlinked within and outside the document so that we can creat...
