OCR bug - Same image area is included in 2 different chars

[Slava]

Hi,

I am facing a problem with character coordinates. In the attached image you can see that the upper dot from ':' character is included in two different characters / words / lines. This is becoming a problem when reading the coordinates rectangle of the whole word (ex. 'Factuur'). The coordinates of the word will overlap another line, in this case. A document-recognition based on template system fails when this happens.

Are you able to fix this issue?

p.s. The 'r' character is however is beeing recognized correctly. As wel as ':'.

Version: GdPicture Pro v5.11.18 ActiveX

Kind regards,

Hi,

Could you send the image source at esupport (at) gdpicture (dot) ?

The problem occurs only on 1 image or on several ?


Kind regards,

Loic,

This particular document first needs a premission for sending outside the company. (it can take a while, if you still need to examine it)

I've been investigating this problem and processed another 15 documents to see how often it occurs. It did not occur in other documents. However earlier we got feedback from our customer about overlapped word highlighting. But so far we were not aware of the reason.

I have also noticed that my guess about the dot was wrong, in the case above. If you look closely, the 'm' and the ':' chars on the second line are marked together. So the upper dot is not included in 2 chars, but only in the 'r' char. And the lower to 'm'. So we got:

r
.

and

m .

recognized as 'r' and 'm' (without dots)

As this problem does not happen often, it is not a critical issue for now. If I enconquer more problems with it, I will post here / contact you again.

Kind regards,
Slava
