I was recently called on a survey done about four years ago for additional work. This project had a backup that failed. When I discovered this my thought was to recreate the electronic field book files from print outs, and use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.

Well the results were not good. In some places the OCR is exactly like the print out, and in other places it is extremely confusing.

I think the software likes letters more than numbers. It changes all the ones in Face 1 commands to the letter I. So I fixed that with a global command. Then somewhere in the middle it just goes crazy.

If you look at the result you may see what I mean.

 


Historic boundaries and conservation efforts.
