Learn how to use OCR tools, Apache Spark, and other Apache Hadoop components to process PDF images at scale.
Optical character recognition (OCR) technologies have advanced significantly over the last 20 years. However, during that time, there has been little or no effort to marry OCR with distributed architectures such as Apache Hadoop to process large numbers of images in near-real time.
In this post, you will learn how to use standard open source tools along with Hadoop components such as Apache Spark,
