We analyze the quality of condensed text on LCD displays, generated with unhinted and hinted bilevel characters, with traditional anti-aliased and with perceptually-tuned grayscale characters. Hinted bi-level characters and perceptually-tuned grayscale characters improve the quality of displayed small size characters (8pt, 6pt) up to a line condensation factor of 80%. At higher condensation fac...

As in printed matter, black text on white background is the most legible color combination on small computer screens

Over the last few decades, some newly developed areas in the city of Isfahan have had serious problems in providing such urban design qualities as legibility, and this has led to various problems for the citizens like difficulty in way-finding, orientation or addressing. In order to solve this problem and enrich the legibility of newly developed areas, planners and designers should utilize appr...

Abstract In this paper we propose a method to augment Reinforcement Learning agent with legibility. This is inspired by the literature in Explainable Planning and allows regularize agent’s policy after training, without requiring modify its learning algorithm. achieved evaluating how optimal may produce observations that would make an observer model infer wrong policy. our formulation, decision...

The research field concerned with the digital restoration of degraded written heritage lacks a quantitative metric for evaluating its results, which prevents comparison relevant methods on large datasets. Thus, we introduce novel dataset Subjective Assessments Legibility in Ancient Manuscript Images (SALAMI) to serve as ground truth development evaluation metrics text restoration. This consists...
