An algorithm for duplicate document detection is proposed in this project that operates directly on images that have been symbolically compressed using techniques related to the ongoing JBIG2 standardization effort. This report describes an optical character recognition (OCR) method that recognizes the text in an image by deciphering data from the compressed representation. It recognizes the text in an image by deciphering the sequence of occurrence of blobs in the compressed representation. We propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) method for solving such deciphering problems and suggest applications in multilingual document duplicate detection. It is observed that it can recover better than 90% of the text in compressed document images and that this is sufficient to identify duplicates in a large database.
