Justification of additional costs and the possibility of downtime in the land transport company

In the literature review of the bachelor's thesis, the types of costs in a company are analyzed and how they could affect the company overall in terms of both costs and functionality. Using transport tariffs, the costs of providing transportation services were calculated and a price was offered to the client. Additional costs and downtime types were analyzed and their impact on the company was assessed. The theoretical analysis of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies was conducted to further apply them to reduce additional costs and downtime.In the second part, the additional costs and downtime factors of the company DSV Latvia and the extent of their impact were described and analyzed.The third part analyzes the application of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies in the company DSV Latvia and how significantly they can help reduce additional costs and downtime.

Improving the accuracy of optical character recognition of stone engravings using image pre-processing methods

This study focuses on the development of preprocessing methods to improve the accuracy of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for stone engravings. The primary goal is to enhance the precision of widely used OCR tools, particularly for texts engraved on stone surfaces, which present unique challenges that differ from traditional OCR applications. Emphasis is placed on developing image preprocessing methods as a software product. Customized image manipulation scripts were used to improve recognition accuracy and address issues such as contrast, alignment, noise, and resolution. The preprocessing stage was integrated into the workflow designed for image transformation before OCR processing. Subsequently, the recognition improvements were evaluated based on text similarity metrics analysis. Iterative text recognition and repeated recognition of images after applying preprocessing demonstrated significant improvements in OCR accuracy. This work provides a solid foundation for further enhancement of OCR workflows by employing adaptable preprocessing techniques specifically designed for particular problem areas, achieving higher precision in text recognition.
