New paper proposes framework for rescuing historical climate data
A short paper entitled “Rescuing Historical Climate Observations to Support Hydrological Research: A Case Study of Solar Radiation Data”, presented at the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering 2021 (DocEng ’21), outlines research for establishing an efficient and accurate process of digitizing paper-based climate data. The framework for this work was set up by evaluating the performance of two optical character recognition (OCR) engines, namely Tesseract OCR and ABBYY FineReader.
