A Gaussian Process Upsampling Model for Improvements in Optical Character Recognition

원문 초록

Optical Character Recognition and extraction is a key tool in the automatic evaluation of documents in a financial context. However, the image data provided to automated systems can have unreliable quality, and can be inherently low-resolution or downsampled and compressed by a transmitting program. In this paper, we illustrate the efficacy of a Gaussian Process upsampling model for the purposes of improving OCR and extraction through upsampling low resolution documents.
