Evaluating Traditional Chinese Glyph Repair in Images

A GlyphFix feasibility study of OCR, local glyph replacement, and rescoring as a testable correction pipeline.

Text RecognitionIn progress

Research question

Generated images can omit strokes, substitute characters, or mix Traditional and Simplified forms. OCR accuracy alone can miss damage to the background and nearby text.

Evaluation design

Synthetic samples contain known errors and reference text. OCR locates and classifies them. After local replacement, the prototype reassesses recognition and changes outside the mask before keeping a correction.

Current scope

The downstream pipeline runs on a CPU with synthetic samples and glyph compositing. Diffusion-based inpainting, real generated images, and generalization across fonts still require evaluation.
