One of the related problems of OCR systems is discrimination of fonts in machine printed document images. This task improves performance of general OCR systems. Proposed methods in this paper are based on various fractal dimensions for font discrimination. First, some predefined fractal dimensions were combined with directional methods to enhance font differentiation. Then, a novel fractal dime...

This study aimed to investigate whether unilateral vestibular neuritis (VN) causes the same deficits of ocular counter-roll during static head roll (OCR(S)) and dynamic vestibulo-ocular reflex gains during head impulses (VOR(HI)) as unilateral vestibular deafferentation (VD). Ten patients with acute and 14 patients with chronic vestibular paralysis after VN were examined. The testing battery in...

PURPOSE To compare the effects of intravenous infusion of ketamine and propofol anesthesia in children undergoing strabismus surgery. METHODS Sixty pediatric patients aged 4-11 years were enrolled for the study. Patients in Group K were infused ketamine 1-3 mg/kg/hr (n = 30) and patients in Group P were infused with propofol 6-9 mg/kg/hr (n = 30). After giving fentanyl 1 mug/kg and rocuronium...

Developing a Bangla OCR requires bunch of algorithm and methods. There were many effort went on for developing a Bangla OCR. But all of them failed to provide an error free Bangla OCR. Each of them has some lacking. We discussed about the problem scope of currently existing Bangla OCR‟s. In this paper, we present the basic steps required for developing a Bangla OCR and a complete workflow for d...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab (OCR) with methotrexate (MTX) in MTX-naive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS In a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial, patients received placebo+MTX (MTX; n=210), OCR 200 mg×2+MTX (OCR 200; n=200) or OCR 500 mg×2+MTX (OCR 500; n=203). OCR/placebo (two intravenous infusions) was given on days 1 and 15, with fixed re...

The accuracy of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is crucial to the success of subsequent applications used in text analyzing pipeline. Recent models of OCR post-processing significantly improve the quality of OCR-generated text, but are still prone to suggest correction candidates from limited observations while insufficiently accounting for the characteristics of OCR errors. In this paper, ...

Abstract Optical character recognition (OCR) is process of classification of optical patterns contained in a digital image. The character recognition is achieved through segmentation, feature extraction and classification. This chapter presents the basic ideas of OCR needed for a better understanding of the book. The chapter starts with a brief background and history of OCR systems. Then the di...
