Take another look at my comment.
- Dylan16807 7mo agoLet me try rephrasing to make the response to your original comment as clear as possible. Question: "How can we describe OCR that wouldn't match this definition exactly?" Answer: This definition largely fits OCR, but "reference to a single instance" is a weird way to phrase it. A better definition of OCR would include how it uses builtin knowledge of glyphs and text structure, unlike JBIG2 which looks for examples dynamically. And that difference in technique gives you a significant difference in the end results. Is that better? The definition you quoted is not an "exact" fit to OCR, it's a mildly misleading fit to OCR, and clearing up the misleading part makes it no longer fit both.
