High Performance Computing for Photogrammetry and OCR Made Easy

Gniady, Tassie, et. al. "High Performance Computing for Photogrammetry and OCR Made Easy." Aug 2017. DH 2017. McGill University, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada.

This workshop will start by introducing participants to Compute Canada and XSEDE, cover how to obtain a compute allocation (including for researchers outside of the US and Canada), and proceed through two hands-on tutorials on research methods that benefit from the additional compute power provided by these infrastructures: 1) photogrammetry using PhotoScan and 2) using OCR via Tesseract to extract metadata from images.
