A method and system for rapid digitalization of meteorological paper form documents

Abstract

The invention provides a rapid digitalization method and system for meteorological paper table documents, belonging to the field of meteorological data processing. The fast digitization method includes: acquiring the image of the meteorological paper table document; after preprocessing the image, extracting the form line and performing character recognition, completing the extraction and positioning of the character, and storing it as the first type of character; The image of the form document is cut, and text is entered for each sub-image; the entered text is positioned, matched and verified against the first type of characters; when the verification is passed, the character is stored; when the verification fails, the character is discarded and the current sub- The image is used as a form document image, and it is transferred to preprocessing; when all sub-images are traversed and the verification is passed, all characters are output as the digitized result. The invention realizes rapid digitization of meteorological form documents, simplifies text detection based on semantic segmentation, and realizes high-precision and high-accuracy character extraction for form documents containing printed and handwritten characters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of meteorological data processing, and in particular relates to a rapid digitalization method and system for meteorological paper table documents. Background technique [0002] In meteorological observation, the initial observation results are meteorological images, and various localities collect local meteorological data through the digitization of meteorological images, and upload them to the meteorological center, and the meteorological center conducts statistics and analysis of all meteorological data. When collecting meteorological data in various places, due to the time series and multi-parameter nature of meteorological data, it is usually necessary to organize the data through forms; the arrangement of meteorological paper form documents is generally done by manual observation and handwriting. Then, through the identification of the paper form, for example, the OCR text recognition method in artificial intelli...

Problems solved by technology

In image skew correction, good accuracy is currently not guaranteed for table document images with handwritten numbers

In the process of image binarization, the binarization method is relatively simple, and it is often unable to adapt to various conditions in practical applications, such as: uneven brightness of scanning results, shallow stroke grayscale, image histogram The distribution of gray value is relatively uniform, etc.

In the process of table character positioning, it includes using prior knowledge positioning and table line detection positioning; among them, the prior knowledge method needs prior knowledge and cannot automatically adapt to various forms of different formats; the table line detection method includes lateral projection method, contour extraction method, table line intersection analysis method, and Hough transform method; the side projection method is simple and fast, but it is more susceptible to the influence of table tilt and character sticking table lines; the contour extraction method is also easily affected by the table line Errors are caused by breaking or sticking table lines; the table line intersection analysis method iteratively builds all the cells in the table by classifying and matching adjacent intersections, but this method is time-consuming and susceptible to broken tables line effect
