Abstract
Recognition of degraded text is a challenging problem. To improve the performance of an OCR system on degraded images of text, postprocessing techniques are critical. The objective of postprocessing is to correct errors or to resolve ambiguities in OCR results by using contextual information. Depending on the extent of context used, there are different levels of postprocessing. In current commercial OCR systems, word-level postprocessing methods, such as dictionary-lookup, have been applied successfully. However, many OCR errors cannot be corrected by word-level postprocessing. To overcome this limitation, passage-level postprocessing, in which global contextual information is utilized, is necessary. In most current studies on passage-level postprocessing, linguistic context is the major resource to be exploited. This thesis addresses problems in degraded text recognition and discusses potential solutions through passage-level postprocessing. The objective is to develop a postprocessin...
