Optical Character Recognition Technique using Intro Sort
Open accessAbstract
In this study, we propose an optical character recognition technique using Intro Sort.Main feature of this proposed technique is that we segment images using intro sort.It reduces the comparison time for matching the pixels of an image.It reflects reduction in OCR time.Intro sort algorithm begins with quick sort and when recursion depth exceeds a level it switches to heap sort, based on the number of pixels being sorted.This approach also has advantage of recognizing number plates and text documents in very nominal time.Our approach is able to extract characters of different font sizes.Our technique is performed well in noisy images too.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
