Abstract
Method and apparatus for determining font point size in bitmapped text does not rely on accuracy of an optical character recognition (OCR) engine, or on generation of heuristics (e.g. assumption of certain amounts of different types of text, such as capital, lowercase, ascending, descending) to determine a likely font size. A deep learning model for determining text size is based on extraction of features from existing text to obtain a more general solution.
