+# AsterOCR: Vietnamese Neural Optical Character Recognition Engine
+
+AsterOCR is a non-autoregressive neural Optical Character Recognition engine designed specifically for Vietnamese typography, administrative records (Citizen Identity Cards, passports, driving licenses), financial invoices, and smartphone document captures.
+
+AsterOCR replaces legacy autoregressive Transformer models with an end-to-end convolutional-recurrent architecture accelerated via ONNX Runtime and PyTorch, delivering sub-60ms single-line inference on standard CPUs.

+
+## 4. Mathematical Formulations
+
+### 4.1. High-Pass Spatial Feature Stem (HP-Stem)
+Standard convolutional downsampling kernels act as low-pass filters, frequently obliterating subtle Vietnamese diacritics. HP-Stem introduces a learnable residual high-pass kernel $K_{hp}$:
+
+$$F_{stem}(X) = \text{Conv}_{3\times3}(X) + \gamma \cdot (X * K_{hp})$$
+
+where $\gamma$ is a dynamic scalar parameter amplifying edge gradients of high-frequency diacritic strokes before entering the pooling pyramid.
+
+### 4.2. Inverted Residual with Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE-ResNet)
+To suppress background paper discoloration, scanner artifacts, and watermark textures, AsterNet incorporates SE channel gating:
+
+$$z_c = \frac{1}{H \times W} \sum_{i=1}^H \sum_{j=1}^W u_c(i, j)$$
+
+$$s = \sigma\left(W_2 \cdot \text{ReLU}(W_1 z)\right)$$
+
+$$\tilde{X}_c = s_c \cdot u_c$$
+
+### 4.3. Contrast-Based Auto-Polarity Engine
+Traditional CTC decoders fail on inverted text strips (white text on dark backgrounds, camera timestamps, dark mode). AsterOCR implements a mathematical contrast polarity check before tensor normalization:
+
+$$\Delta_{bright} = P_{90}(X_{center}) - \text{Median}(X_{border})$$
+
+$$\Delta_{dark} = \text{Median}(X_{border}) - P_{10}(X_{center})$$
+
+$$\text{If } (\Delta_{bright} > \Delta_{dark} \text{ and } \Delta_{bright} > 20) \implies X \leftarrow (255 - X)$$

+
+## 4. Mathematical Formulations
+
+### 4.1. High-Pass Spatial Feature Stem (HP-Stem)
+Standard convolutional downsampling kernels act as low-pass filters, frequently obliterating subtle Vietnamese diacritics. HP-Stem introduces a learnable residual high-pass kernel $K_{hp}$:
+
+$$F_{stem}(X) = \text{Conv}_{3\times3}(X) + \gamma \cdot (X * K_{hp})$$
+
+where $\gamma$ is a dynamic scalar parameter amplifying edge gradients of high-frequency diacritic strokes before entering the pooling pyramid.
+
+### 4.2. Inverted Residual with Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE-ResNet)
+To suppress background paper discoloration, scanner artifacts, and watermark textures, AsterNet incorporates SE channel gating:
+
+$$z_c = \frac{1}{H \times W} \sum_{i=1}^H \sum_{j=1}^W u_c(i, j)$$
+
+$$s = \sigma\left(W_2 \cdot \text{ReLU}(W_1 z)\right)$$
+
+$$\tilde{X}_c = s_c \cdot u_c$$
+
+### 4.3. Contrast-Based Auto-Polarity Engine
+Traditional CTC decoders fail on inverted text strips (white text on dark backgrounds, camera timestamps, dark mode). AsterOCR implements a mathematical contrast polarity check before tensor normalization:
+
+$$\Delta_{bright} = P_{90}(X_{center}) - \text{Median}(X_{border})$$
+
+$$\Delta_{dark} = \text{Median}(X_{border}) - P_{10}(X_{center})$$
+
+$$\text{If } (\Delta_{bright} > \Delta_{dark} \text{ and } \Delta_{bright} > 20) \implies X \leftarrow (255 - X)$$
