- Late in the evening, you are sitting at the Funky Punk Café
- and feeling a bit bored because you have not done any programming all day. You stare out of the window and see that
- the text on the neon signs gets reflected in a funny way: the
- letters are partially overlapping, because the window is made
- of double-paned glass. Would it be possible to automatically
- read the text of the sign, just by looking at this mangled reflection? With a burst of sudden inspiration, you grab your laptop
- and OCR2 camera from your bag, and start programming.
-
- Your OCR camera appears to correctly recognize the letters in
- the reflection when it accounts for the mirroring, except that all the letters are duplicated.
- Moreover, if the text on the sign contains double (or more) letters, their reflection partially
- overlaps, resulting in only one more letter than there would be in the original word. For
- example, the word “beer” is reflected as “bbeeerr”, and the word “ooo” is reflected as
- “oooo”. All that is left for you to do, is to write a program that converts these reflected
- words back to their original form.
