| Abstract | In this paper, we propose a framework for content level access to the scanned pages of Digital Library of India (DLI). The current Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems are not robust and reliable enough for generating accurate text from DLI pages. We propose a search scheme which fuses noisy OCR output and holistic visual features for content level access to the DLI pages. Visual content is captured using Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) approach. We show that our fusion scheme improves over the individual methods in terms of mean Average Precision (mAP) and mean precision at 10 (mPrec@10). We exploit the fact that OCR has a high precision while BoVW has a high recall. We use a modified edit distance to improve the order of results ranked by BoVW. Experiments are carried out on large datasets of DLI pages in Hindi and Telugu languages. We validate our method on more than 10,000 pages and 4 Million words, and report a mAP of around 0.8 and mPrec@10 of more than 0.9. We show improvements over BoVW by introducing query expansion. We also demonstrate a textual query interface for the search system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
