Image Editing and Annotations

Illustrative Drawings (from PDF file) Processing, Image Editing and Annotations We are seeking a skilled freelancer to assist us in processing a Car Owner’s Manual in PDF format containing images (570 pages; 500+ images). The objective is to meticulously extract relevant illustrative drawings of instructions from each page, process and format them as per our specific requirements, and compile the extracted data into a structured JSON Manifest File. This project requires attention to detail and adherence to following guidelines. Scope of Work: Below are detailed instructions for each task, as well as expected deliverables. 1. Illustrative drawings extraction and preparation: 1.a Go through the complete car manual PDF document page by page, looking for and locating relevant illustrative drawings of instructions: 1.b For each identified illustrative drawing: - Crop the illustrative image to its frame. - Adjust the resolution to 300dpi. - Remove any letters and pointer lines from the image. - Clean up and correct the integrity of the instruction illustrative drawings; filling the gaps left by the prior removal of letters and pointers; making sure that the image appears clean and complete. - Save each Illustrative image in PNG format, using the following naming convention: "page#-draw#.png", where # represents the corresponding page number and drawing reference number. - Title Extraction: Locate the title of the picture. Typically, it is highlighted in bold and positioned at the top of the Illustrative drawing. If the Illustrative drawing doesn't have a title, capture the paragraph of instruction text it is related to. 2. Vector Path Creation: For each element of the illustrative drawing that has a pointer line: - Create a vector path around the element - Ensure the vector path is closed. - Make sure the path contours the element accurately. - Specify the coordinates for the path relative to the extracted image dimensions (not the PDF page). - Extract the title of each element from the text. 3. JSON Manifest Compilation: - Capture and Save all extracted data into the structured JSON Manifest File. - Ensure the JSON format follows the provided template. Expected Deliverables: - A folder containing the extracted and formatted drawing images, named following the "page#-draw#.png" convention. - A JSON Manifest File containing structured data for each extracted drawing, including titles, vector paths, and other relevant information. - Any additional documentation or reports regarding the project's progress, challenges faced, or unique considerations (if applicable). Important Notes: - Accuracy and attention to detail are paramount in this project. - The work is to be done at scale; without compromising information integrity and quality.
