First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images each image including a corresponding version of an identified candidate text region;
aligning each candidate text region from the plurality of images to a high resolution grid;
compositing the aligned candidate text regions to create a single superresolution image; and
performing character recognition on the superresolution image to identify text.
