Overcoming JPEG Compression Artifacts in Text Recognition
JPEG images rely on lossy discrete cosine transform (DCT) 8x8 block compression. In high-compression or low-resolution camera photos, high-frequency text edges can suffer from ringing artifacts or chroma sub-sampling blur. Our OCR preprocessing engine applies adaptive binarization, Otsu thresholding, and contrast normalization before neural classification, effectively canceling JPEG quantization artifacts to preserve high accuracy even on challenging camera shots.
