No. Picture 2 is derived from the page number where it is, for example the first image on page 3248 of picture 100.gif is called 32481.gif, picture2 32482.gif, etc... page number is contained by the original picture, and has nothing to do with it's name. Original picture is called in the example 100.gif, and the derived pictures are called 32481.gif, 32482.gif and 32491.gif To find the proper name is job for a human, the machine can not effectively help there. > #2.

They are pictures in written text, and only a human can decide, which parts are images and which parts are text. The selected part then usually gets modified in size and also sometimes rotated. All jobs, only a human can do properly. I checked with the most up-to-date ocr programs, they do a lousy job when they try to find out, which parts are pictures and which are text. They err in 20-30% of the cases, which is completely unacceptable and unusable for me. > Of course, doing precisely what you described is possible; it just > entails some steps that might better be automated. That exactly would speed up my work by at least 20-30%. Thanks, eleonora -- GMX startet ShortView.de. Hier findest Du Leute mit Deinen Interessen!
