本文描述了在OCRopus OCR系统中嵌入数学公式识别模块，旨在开发一个包含数学公式的科技文献OCR系统。OCRopus是一个开源的OCR系统，强调模块化、易于扩展和重用。该系统具有预处理、版面分析、文本行识别等基本功能，因此将数学公式识别模块嵌入到OCRopus系统中是一项具有挑战性的工作。我们开发了数学OCR模块，并将该模块嵌入到OCRopus系统中，实现了一个可以处理包括数学公式在内的各种文档的数学OCR。
This paper describes embedding a mathematical formula recognition module into the OCR system OCRopus aiming at developing a OCR system for scientific and technical documents which include mathematical formulas. OCRopus is a open source OCR system emphasizing modularity, easy extensibility, and reuse. This system has several basic components such as preprocessing, layout analysis, and text line recognition, so it is a challenging project to embed the mathematical formula recognition module into the OCRopus system. We have developed the math OCR module, then report how to embed our module into the OCRopus system in order to realize a math OCR which can deal with wide variety of documents including mathematical formulas.
