Foto Foto Ogoh-Ogoh Upin - Ipin, Banjar Buruwan, Sanur Kaja
Pada bulan Maret, umat Hindu di Bali sibuk membuat benda yang bernama ogoh-ogoh, alias patung raksasa yang terbuat dari kayu bambu, kertas, gabus, dan spons.
Jika dulu masyarakat Bali membuat ogoh-ogoh yang identik dengan tokoh pewayangan maupun tokoh raksasa jahat, namun berkembangnya jaman dan teknologi kini masyarakat Bali banyak membuat ogoh-ogoh berwujud tokoh yang sedang populer.
Patung ogoh-ogoh berwujud tokoh kartun asal Malaysia, Upin dan Ipin yang memiliki tinggi 2 meter ini, ini dibuat oleh warga Desa Sanur Kaja, Banjar Buruwan, Jalan Danau Beratan Denpasar.
“Ide membuat ogoh-ogoh dengan sosok upin – ipin ini, berawal dari keprihatinan kami terhadap anak-anak jaman sekarang, karena terlalu di tekan oleh pendidikan yang terlalu keras” ungkap Ida Bagus Darma Suarsa, salah satu warga yang ikut membuat ogoh-ogoh.
“Anak kecil jika terlalu di tekan, maka dia akan menjadi jahat bak seorang raksasa” jelas dia.
Ogoh-ogoh sendiri merupakan tradisi pawai yang dikenalkan pada tahun 1993, sebagai simbol raksasa jahat yang dapat mengganggu manusia pada waktu Nyepi, yang nantinya akan di arak keliling kampung, oleh warga pada malam Pengerupukan, yakni malam sebelum hari raya Nyepi tiba. Meski dahulu sebenarnya ogoh-ogoh itu dibakar setelah pawai, namun sekarang ogoh-ogoh lebih di utamakan sebagai ajang perlombaan antar desa.
Untuk patung Ogoh-ogoh yang berukuran seperti Upin – Ipin ini, pembuatannya memerlukan biaya sekitar 4 juta rupiah.Upin-Ipin ini pun cukup mendapat perhatian orang-orang yang melintasi desa tersebut, terutama anak-anak.
Ogoh-ogoh Upin - Ipin yang besarnya tidak terlalu besar ini menghabiskan dana sekitar 4 jutaan, termasuk jumlah dana yang relatif besar untuk ukurannya. Jika dibandingkan dengan beberapa ogoh-ogoh yang dirangkai menjadi satu, total biayanya dapat mencapai 5 - 10 juta rupiah.

Optical Character Recognition with Nuance OmniPage
OCR Theory
Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text. It is used to convert paper books and documents into electronic files, for instance, to computerize an old record-keeping system in an office, or to serve on a website such as Project Gutenberg.
OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision. Though academic research in the field continues, the focus on OCR has shifted to implementation of proven techniques. Optical character recognition (using optical techniques such as mirrors and lenses) and digital character recognition (using scanners and computer algorithms) were originally considered separate fields. Because very few applications survive that use true optical techniques, the OCR term has now been broadened to include digital image processing as well.
Early systems required training to read a specific font; they needed to be programmed with images of each character, and it only worked on one font at a time. "Intelligent" systems with a high degree of recognition accuracy for most fonts are now common. Some systems are even capable of reproducing formatted output that closely approximates the original scanned page including images, columns and other non-textual components.
OCR Practical
In my office i have been ask for a web content from a hardcopy document without softcopy, so i need to type it manually. it was a waste time job. The content must be in text form, maybe it would be an advantages that visitor can get from a text content (not an image from image scan result)
My friend said an OCR software named Nuance OmniPage (he said it was very popular). Then I install the software and use it.
My work became fast and finish early.
So i will explain a simple way to do the OCR Steps
1. Open The OmniPage Software.
2. You will see the software user interface.
3. Scan the Document
4. Result Document and 2 Other Simple Steps
5. Succes
You will find how beautifull and excellent result without retype the document!!!!
