// Fixxht overview.
// Premise: Initial estimate of x-height is adequate most of the time, but
// occasionally it is incorrect. Most notable causes of failure are:
// 1. Small caps, where the top of the caps is the same as the body text
// xheight. For small caps words the xheight needs to be reduced to correctly
// recognize the caps in the small caps word.
// 2. All xheight lines, such as summer. Here the initial estimate will have
// guessed that the blob tops are caps and will have placed the xheight too low.
// 3. Noise/logos beside words, or changes in font size on a line. Such
// things can blow the statistics and cause an incorrect estimate.
// 4. Incorrect baseline. Can happen when 2 columns are incorrectly merged.
// In this case the x-height is often still correct.
//
// Algorithm.
// Compare the vertical position (top only) of alphnumerics in a word with
// the range of positions in training data (in the unicharset).
// See CountMisfitTops. If any characters disagree sufficiently with the
// initial xheight estimate, then recalculate the xheight, re-run OCR on
// the word, and if the number of vertical misfits goes down, along with
// either the word rating or certainty, then keep the new xheight.
// The new xheight is calculated as follows:ComputeCompatibleXHeight
// For each alphanumeric character that has a vertically misplaced top
// (a misfit), yet its bottom is within the acceptable range (ie it is not
// likely a sub-or super-script) calculate the range of acceptable xheight
// positions from its range of tops, and give each value in the range a
// number of votes equal to the distance of its top from its acceptance range.
// The x-height position with the median of the votes becomes the new
// x-height. This assumes that most characters will be correctly recognized
// even if the x-height is incorrect. This is not a terrible assumption, but
// it is not great. An improvement would be to use a classifier that does
// not care about vertical position or scaling at all.
// Separately collect stats on shifted baselines and apply the same logic to
// computing a best-fit shift to fix the error. If the baseline needs to be
// shifted, but the x-height is OK, returns the original x-height along with
// the baseline shift to indicate that recognition needs to re-run.

// If the max-min top of a unicharset char is bigger than kMaxCharTopRange
// then the char top cannot be used to judge misfits or suggest a new top.
const int kMaxCharTopRange = 48;

// Returns the number of misfit blob tops in this word.
