EANYCODE_CHAR . confidence > 100?

[Albert]

Hi,

I have found that some EANYCODE_CHAR.confidence's are over 100. Does
that make sense?

Albert,

It doesn't look like you received an answer here. Were you ever able
to figure this out?

In ocrclass.h, EANYCODE_CHAR.confidence is defined as "0=perfect,
100=reject (0/100)".

Thanks,
Todd

Thanks for bringing this back to the top of my inbox. The scaling of the certainty to create the confidence in EANYCODE_CHAR is inappropriate. The value can easily get over 100, but is clipped to 255. In fact the scaling is so far out that the 0.035 in output.cpp would be better off being 0.19. That would bring down the values a bit and make the 100 level more like a reject.

Ray.
