PREPROCESSING IMAGES FOR OCR USING CHARACTER PIXEL HEIGHT ESTIMATION AND CYCLE GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORKS FOR BETTER CHARACTER RECOGNITION

A text extraction computing method that comprises calculating an estimated character pixel height of text from a digital image. The method may scale the digital image using the estimated character pixel height and a preferred character pixel height. The method may binarizes the digital image. The method may remove distortions using a neural network trained by a cycle GAN on a set of source text images and a set of clean text images. The set of source text images and clean text images are unpaired. The source text images may be distorted images of text. Calculating the estimated character pixel height may include summarizing the rows of pixels into a horizontal projection, and determining a line-repetition period from the projection, and quantifying the portion of the line-repetition period that corresponds to the text as the estimated character pixel height. The method may extract characters from the digital image using OCR.

Disclosed are a car damage picture angle correction method, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: after receiving a car damage picture to be classified and identified, identifying a rotation category corresponding to the received car damage picture by using a pre-trained picture rotation category identification model; determining a rotation control parameter corresponding to the identified rotation category according to a pre-determined mapping relation between rotation categories and rotation control parameters, the rotation control parameter including a rotation angle and a rotation direction; and rotating the received car damage picture according to the determined rotation control parameter, so as to generate an angle-normal car damage picture. The disclosure can perform car damage picture angle correction more comprehensively and more effectively with no need to artificially perform angle identification on a car damage picture and to manually rotate the picture, thereby achieving a higher efficiency and accuracy.

DYNAMIC ADAPTATION OF IMAGES FOR PROJECTION, AND/OR OF PROJECTION PARAMETERS, BASED ON USER(S) IN ENVIRONMENT
20210082083 · 2021-03-18 ·

Implementations relate to dynamic adaptation of images for projection by a projector, based on one or more properties of user(s) that are in an environment with the projector. The projector can be associated with an automated assistant client of a client device. In some versions of those implementations, a pose of a user in the environment is determined and, based on the pose, a base image for projecting onto a surface is warped to generate a transformed image. The transformed image, when projected onto a surface and viewed from the pose of the user, mitigates perceived differences relative to the base image. The base image (on which the transformed image is based) can optionally be generated in dependence on a distance of the user. Some implementations additionally or alternatively relate to dynamic adaptation of projection parameters (e.g., a location for projection, a size of projection) based on one or more properties of user(s) that are in an environment with the projector.

ENHANCING ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS FOR CHARACTER RECOGNITION

Techniques for desirably translating a document image to an editable electronic textual document are presented. Utilizing respective applications, a document processing management component (DPMC) can convert the document image to a grayscale document image, remove noise from such image, rotate such image to reduce or eliminate any skewing of such image, and perform character recognition on the rotated grayscale document image to extract the textual information from such document to generate an electronic textual document. DPMC can associate a document identifier with the electronic textual document, and such document and document identifier can be stored in a data store. When such document is related to a device or other item, a code or textual string can be associated with the device or item, wherein a communication device can scan the code or textual string. In response, DPMC can retrieve such document, or information relating thereto, from the data store.
