Google收購辨識技術領導公司reCAPTCHA

2009/09/17 13:05 鉅亨網編譯張正芊 綜合外電  

積極拓展書籍數位化業務的美國網路巨擘 Google Inc.(GOOG-US﹔谷歌),周三宣佈收購數位資料人工解碼辨識技術研發公司 reCAPTCHA,可望大幅強化其典籍數位化的能力。reCAPTCHA 技術的前身 CAPTCHA,是由卡內基梅隆大學(Carnegie Mellon University) 研究團隊所開發的人工解碼辨識技術,目前常用於防止大量廣告貼文及發送垃圾郵件。辨識的方式為,透過個別使用者從遭到扭曲或劃上橫線的圖形中,識別出正確 的文字或數字後輸入空格,以確認每筆人工閱讀。該團隊進一步研發出 reCAPTCHA 技術,協助將書籍大量數位化。一般書籍存檔工作先將內容掃描為圖檔,再透過光學字元辨識 (OCR,或文字辨識) 將內容轉化為檔案較小、易於儲存及傳送的文字檔。不過通常因掃描時的缺陷或原內容的多元化,使得 OCR 轉換的準確度降低;透過 reCAPTCHA 進行人工辨識,並累積辨識經驗,將有助提升書籍數位化的速度及準確度。reCAPTCHA 研究團隊領導人 Luis von Ahn 表示,原本這只是一個學術研究計畫,現在已發展成一個公司。如今出售給 Google 後,整個研究團隊將移往 Google 辦公室,他也將成為 Google 員工。Google 今日並未透露交易細節。專家指出,收購 reCAPTCHA 將同時提升 Google 在網路辨識及改善數位化二方面的能力,也有利於其將來將這項技術銷售給第 3 方而得利。請參考鉅亨網
