OCR for Mobile Phones

Lighting, camera resolution and focus, skew (shear), and processing power all contribute to the difficulties in developing effective OCR applications using mobile phones. We propose a novel algorithm using PCA, divergence, and a global neural network to develop an OCR package that levers user-specific parameters with a neural network trained on an extended data set.

Recycling: Funds for Phones

Background: Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, is the leading species in North American aquaculture. Genetic improvement of catfish is performed through selective breeding, and genomic tools will help improve selection efficiency. A physical map is needed to integrate the genetic map with the karyotype and to support fine mapping of phenotypic trait alleles such as Quantitative Trait Loci (Q...

Are tones phones?

The psycholinguistic status of lexical tones and phones is indexed via phonological and tonological awareness (PA and TA, respectively) using Thai speech. In Experiment 1 (Thai participants, alphabetic script and orthographically explicit phones/tones), PA was better than TA in children and primary school-educated adults, and TA improved to PA levels only in tertiary-educated adults. In Experim...
