Jiangnan Zhang developed and documented an end-to-end OCR workflow for historical manuscript analysis in the pstroe/chartering-new-realms-2024 repository. Focusing on Chapter 6, Zhang implemented preprocessing steps such as contrast enhancement, binarization, and noise removal using Python and OpenCV, followed by post-processing with GuwenBERT for improved text accuracy. The work included technical writing in Markdown to produce clear, reproducible research notes and media-rich documentation. Additionally, Zhang streamlined the documentation build process by consolidating YAML configuration files, reducing maintenance overhead. This work demonstrated depth in configuration management, image processing, and natural language processing, resulting in a scalable, maintainable research pipeline.
