Progress in Document Reconstruction

We combine information from a language model and character image pattern matching to iteratively reduce ambiguity in document images. Combining word shape information and lists of similar bitmap patterns in a document at least partially resolves the character content without optical character recognition. We present the output in various ways. suitable for human readers or for differing downstream processes.
