Speech and Text-Image Processing in Documents

Two themes have evolved in speech and text image processing work at Xerox PARC that expand and redefine the role of recognition technology in d~ument-oriented appficafions. One is the development of systems that provide functionality similar to that of text processors but operate directly on audio and scanned image data. A second, related theme is the use of speech and text-nnage recognition to...

Document image decoding in the UC Berkeley Digital Library

The UC Berkeley Environmental Digital Library Project is one of six university-led projects that were initiated in the fall of 1994 as part of a four-year digital library initiative sponsored by the NSF, NASA and ARPA. The Berkeley project is particularly interesting from a document image analysis perspective because its testbed collection consists almost entirely of scanned materials. As a res...

Model-Directed Document Image Analysis

If current OCR engineering trends continue, then, we believe, \general{purpose" systems | that is, fully automatic and nonretargetable systems | will leave many potential users unsat-issed, and lucrative application niches unnlled, for years to come. However, for users who care enough to volunteer some manual eeort | to help customize the system to their document(s) | signiicantly higher accura...

This memo discusses a proposed extension to the Internet architecture and protocols to provide integrated services, i.e., to support realtime as well as the current non-real-time service of IP. This extension is necessary to meet the growing need for real-time service for a variety of new applications, including teleconferencing, remote seminars, telescience, and distributed simulation. This me...
