Abstract
A system and method is provided which rescales a received image to an optimal size to undergo an optical character recognition (OCR) process. The system includes an optimal size determination component that determines an optimum size for the image such that processing time of the received image is minimized without affecting accuracy. The optimal size determination component determines the optimum size of the image based at least in part on a dominant interline spacing of text and a dominant text height. The system also includes a rescaling component that resizes the received image to the determined optimum size.
