Best Practices

最佳实践

Image Preprocessing

图像预处理

  1. Quality assessment: Check image quality before processing
  2. Resolution optimization: Ensure minimum 300 DPI for OCR
  3. Noise reduction: Apply appropriate filtering for cleaner text
  4. Orientation correction: Detect and correct page rotation
  1. 质量评估：处理前检查图像质量
  2. 分辨率优化：确保OCR的最低分辨率为300 DPI
  3. 降噪处理：应用合适的过滤以获得更清晰的文本
  4. 方向校正：检测并校正页面旋转

OCR Accuracy

OCR准确率提升

  1. Language-specific tuning: Optimize for Chuukese character set
  2. Confidence thresholds: Filter low-confidence results
  3. Multiple engine comparison: Use different OCR engines for comparison
  4. Human validation: Sample-based quality checking
  1. 语言专属调优：针对楚克语字符集进行优化
  2. 置信度阈值：过滤低置信度的识别结果
  3. 多引擎对比：使用不同OCR引擎进行结果对比
  4. 人工验证：基于样本的质量检查
