• OCR with Google Vision API and Tesseract

  EN

  Google Vision and Tesseract are both popular and powerful OCR tools, but they each have their weaknesses. In this lesson, you will learn how to combine the two to make the most of their individual strengths and achieve even more accurate OCR results.

• An Introduction to Prosopography

  This resource helps students tackle key prosopography challenges, such as disambiguating individuals with the same name, handling anonymous entries, and recognizing fictional people, known as the Rusudan Problem. Additionally, this resource focuses on the theory of identity, where roles, titles, and historical presence may be disputed but still carry an assumed "correct" interpretation. Fluid identities—such as ethnicity, gender, and religion—are more complex and require careful modeling in databases. The course also covers how to scope projects effectively by defining clear research questions and boundaries.

• Digitisation with 360 Degrees Photography
