Greetings,
I do not doubt that GOCR, teseract, etc. do a fine job with basic OCR tasks.
Unfortunately, I am brushing up on my orbital mechanics and my understanding is
that these engines are not equipped to handle intense mathematics. I am trying
to clean up scans to increase performance in infty-reader.
How did you go about cleaning up the contrast/shadow? That might be enough to
help out infty-reader in producing more accurate translations. I can decipher
the early stufff on Newtonian gravitation and Homan transfers, but I'd like to
have more confidence that wwhen I get to gyroscopic stability and Euler
parameters that the OCR output is fairly accurate.
Thanks:-)
