摘要:Optical Character Recognition or OCR is the process that recognizes alpha numerical characters on printed pages and converts them to a machine-readable text file. OCR makes it possible to digitize books and other printed materials. Our current research work is investigating ways to speed up implementation of digital libraries. Multicore systems are now becoming common on desktops, servers and even laptops. In order to take full advantage of such multicore systems, current research is looking at ways to make parallel programming main stream. One such effort is the Intel Cilk Plus extensions to C and C++ from Intel Corporation that offer a quick, easy and reliable way to improve the performance of programs on multicore processors. In this paper, we present the results from our work using the Cilk Plus extensions to parallelize OCR error correction
