SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING COMPRESSION RATES FOR IMAGES COMPRISING TEXT

A system for determining compression rates for images, the system comprising a processing resource configured to: obtain a given image at least partially comprising a given text; compress the given image at a given compression ratio, giving rise to a compressed image; perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on the compressed image, giving rise to OCR text; compare the OCR text to the given text, giving rise to comparison results; upon the comparison results meeting a rule, increase the given compression rate; and upon the compression results not meeting a rule, return to a previous compression rate, if any.
