In recent years, although Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has made considerable progress, low-resolution text images commonly appearing in many scenarios may still cause errors in recognition. For this problem, the technique of Generative Adversarial Network in super-resolution processing is applied to enhance the resolution of low-quality text images in this study. The principle and the implementation in TensorFlow of this technique are introduced. On this basis, a system is proposed to perform the resolution enhancement and OCR for low-resolution text images. The experimental results indicate that this technique could significantly improve the accuracy, reduce the error rate and false rejection rate of low-resolution text images identification.
