Can computer recognize mathematical expressions printed on papers?
In the project, we are developing an integrated mathematical document
reader system using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The system
recognizes scanned page images of scientific documents including
mathematical expressions and output the results in LaTeX, HTML, XML
etc. It is developed in view of its application to retro-digitization
of mathematical journals, to automatic transcripion of scientific
documents into Braille codes, etc.
