From 2dedb620a666f9bc88859cc855f1cb1d0bcef7f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 09:26:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20felt=20OCR=20=E2=80=94=20three=20approa?= =?UTF-8?q?ches=20to=20character=20recognition=20by=20shape=20qualia?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three recognition methods compared on synthetic glyphs: 1. Base17/JL (34 bytes/glyph): golden-step projection to 17D, L1 codebook → B-n=38939 (closest: share vertical+bump shape), A-B=43001 2. Polar quantization (8 bytes/glyph): 16 angles × 4 radii, rotation-invariant → B-n=10 (lowest!), Q-I=10, m-n=11, m-z=11 3. BGZ17 palette (1 byte/glyph): 256×256 distance table, O(1) lookup → B-n=87 (lowest), A-B=96, O-z=104 All three agree: B feels like n (vertical stroke + bump). The system discovers character relationships without being told. Plus: - Euler-γ fast skew: γ/(γ+1)≈0.366 signal floor, skip search for straight pages - Indent-based paragraph detection: first-pixel margin analysis - Synthetic glyph renderer for codebook bootstrapping - CharCodebook: 256 entries, recognize() returns (char, distance, confidence) For production: use ocrs+rten (AdaWorldAPI/ocrs + AdaWorldAPI/rten). This module is the felt-distance fast path: no neural net, pure lookup. 10 tests passing. https://claude.ai/code/session_01ChLvBfpJS8dQhHxRD4pYNp --- src/hpc/mod.rs | 1 + src/hpc/ocr_felt.rs | 530 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 531 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/hpc/ocr_felt.rs diff --git a/src/hpc/mod.rs b/src/hpc/mod.rs index 06c36b79..a30598a7 100644 --- a/src/hpc/mod.rs +++ b/src/hpc/mod.rs @@ -225,6 +225,7 @@ pub mod jitson; #[allow(missing_docs)] pub mod jitson_cranelift; pub mod ocr_simd; +pub mod ocr_felt; #[cfg(test)] mod e2e_tests { diff --git a/src/hpc/ocr_felt.rs b/src/hpc/ocr_felt.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000..286a53ea --- /dev/null +++ b/src/hpc/ocr_felt.rs @@ -0,0 +1,530 @@ +//!
