15 days post-metamorphosis) and CR (15 days post-metamorphosis) were not different from the control treatment with an average value of 1.7 (×10−2 mg O2 h−1 juv−1) and 0.07 (L h−1 juv−1) for OCR and CR at 15 days post-metamorphosis, respectively. Also there was no effect on juvenile growth rate. This study shows that short hyposaline events suffered by early veligers of C. peruviana can cause re...

The slogan of the efforts towards automating the collection information in Norwegian museums in the seventies, was Get a bucket under the data stream formulated by Jostein Hauge, then the director of Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities ( Hereafter NCCH). In Cooperation with the national organization of the art and social history museum, NCCH developed a standard registration form (on ...

Characterizing the performance of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems is crucial for monitoring technical progress, predicting OCR performance, providing scientiic explanations for system behavior and identifying open problems. While research has been done in the past to compare the performances of OCR systems, all methods assume that the accuracies achieved on individual documents in a...

The importance of effectively retrieving OCR text has grown significantly in recent years. We provide a brief overview of work done to improve the effectiveness of retrieval of OCR text.

OCR is an error prone process when input images are degraded Most current OCR techniques use linguistic information such as character n grams or dictionaries to postprocess character recognition results These methods essentially discard the input image after the character recognition is complete This paper proposes a new technique for improving the performance of an OCR system that uses informa...

BACKGROUND The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) can be elicited during manipulation of the orbital structures in the strabismus correction surgery. A sinus bradycardia is the most common manifestation of OCR; and cardiac dysrhythmia and asystole may also occur. Various efforts to reduce OCR have been attempted, but without coherent outcome results. METHODS Sixty one children, undergoing elective str...

This paper describes a new expert system for automatically correcting errors made by optical character recognition (OCR) devices. The system, which we call the post-processing system, is designed to improve the quality of text produced by an OCR device in preparation for subsequent retrieval from an information system. The system is composed of numerous parts: an information retrieval system, a...

Since the dawn of the computing era, information has been represented digitally so that it can be processed by electronic computers. Paper books and documents were abundant and widely being published at that time; and hence, there was a need to convert them into digital format. OCR, short for Optical Character Recognition was conceived to translate paper-based books into digital e-books. Regret...

This paper surveys some of the literature pertaining to searching and retrieving OCR’ed printed documents with emphasis on Arabic documents. It examines peculiarities of Arabic morphology, orthography, retrieval, word clustering, display, OCR, and error correction. The paper surveys existing evaluation test-beds for retrieval of Arabic OCR texts. Lastly, it concludes with possible directions fo...
