ldenoue··on Show HN: Pdf to json based on xpdf
Right: you need to compile it first. And then copy xpdf/pdftojson to your binary path like /usr/local/bin/pdftojson so that it is found
ldenoue··on Show HN: PDFlower – Reflow PDF papers for small-screen reading
I'm working on a similar system. Would you like to test it? https://twitter.com/ldenoue/status/785142066665971713
ldenoue··on Show HN: PDFlower – Reflow PDF papers for small-screen reading
I'm also working on this PDF reflow and posted a video demonstration on my twitter. Ping me if you would like to test: https://twitter.com/ldenoue/status/785142066665971713
ldenoue··on Ask HN: What projects are you currently working on?
Link? I'm working on a new PDF reader that can reflow text and maintain beautiful fonts and graphics from the original
ldenoue··on Doc2text – Detect text blocks and OCR poorly scanned PDFs in bulk
Also look at Ocropy from Tom Breuel who has a page segmenter that identifies columns. https://github.com/tmbdev/ocropy
ldenoue··on Fast and Accurate Document Detection for Scanning
What is a patch in your case? Are you running a sliding window over the image or tiling it? Then are you marking each pixel as belonging to the edge of a document or are you marking detected edges as valid document boundaries? Also how do you model the links between the 4 sides? A reference to a paper or follow up blog post would be greatly appreciated.

Great work. Laurent

ldenoue··on Twillage helps you find local events from twitter
it's actually http://twillage.com/search?q=concert&city=san+francisco&...
ldenoue··on Ask HN: Review my app: tweetrad.io
I like it too, zen, especially the female voice. Would be neat to add special effects in the audio stream, e.g. if the tweet is about "happy hour" or "party", or if it's news you could have background clip like CNN.com headlines
