ADSA-P trajectory and its skew projection are used to approximate drop profile and shadow boundaries respectively. The intersections of both trajectories determine contact points and localize the bottom line. This implies contact angles between the bottom and profile trajectory.","PeriodicalId":421462,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Perspective Technologies and Methods in MEMS Design","volume":"32 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121002316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In OCR applications, however, digital cameras suffer from a number of limitations, like geometrical distortions. In this paper, we deal with the preprocessing step before text recognition, specifically with images from a digital camera. Experiments, performed with the FineReader 7.0 software as the back-end recognition tool, confirm importance of image preprocessing in OCR applications.","PeriodicalId":421462,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Perspective Technologies and Methods in MEMS Design","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121061690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
