 OVERVIEW
• This project focuses on the application of data science techniques to enhance the clarity
of blurred text extracted from PDF pages.
• The methodology involves Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for text extraction,
followed by image processing techniques such as sharpening filters, contrast adjustments,
and potential deblurring algorithms.
• The process is iterative, with a focus on optimizing the enhancement methods to achieve
the best results.
• Additionally, vectorization and manual correction are explored as strategies to improve
the legibility of the text.
• The project showcases the intersection of computer vision, data manipulation, and
algorithmic approaches in addressing the challenge of clarifying blurred text within
document images.
 CONCEPT
The concept of clarifying blurred text in extracted PDF pages revolves around using a
combination of technological processes and tools to improve the legibility of text that may have
been distorted or unclear due to blurring in PDF documents. The methodology typically involves
the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text, followed by various image
enhancement techniques, such as sharpening filters and deblurring algorithms. Manual
correction, iterative optimization, and validation processes are often incorporated to refine and
ensure the accuracy of the enhanced text. The overarching goal is to overcome the challenges
posed by blurred text and produce a clearer and more readable representation of the original
content within PDF files.
 METHODOLOGY
The methodology for enhancing blurred text in extracted PDF pages employs Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) software for text extraction. Image processing techniques, such
as sharpening filters and deblurring algorithms, enhance text quality. Zooming and inspection
identify blurred areas, while vectorization ensures resolution independence. Manual correction
supplements automated methods. An iterative process adjusts parameters for optimization,
followed by a quality check and documentation. Optimization strategies explore additional
enhancements, and validation ensures accuracy. The methodology integrates OCR, image
processing, and iterative optimization for adaptable and optimal text enhancement while
preserving content integrity.
