How to find corresponding image from an hocr result?

[zuphilip]

I have found something interesting here https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/periodika/reichsanzeiger/ocr/film/tesseract-4.0.0-alpha.20170703/012-9419/0580.hocr and would like to see the corresponding image. How can I find it?

Get the microfilm number 012-9419 and the image number 0580 from the URL and use it in the viewer URL:

• https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/viewer/reichsanzeiger/film/012-9419/0580.jp2 (restricted images)
• https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/viewer/reichsanzeiger/scan/012-9419/0580.jp2 (free images)

The correct image link should be offered by the search interface in the future.

Maybe the hOCR can be modified on the server side on the fly when it is requested by a web client:

A program could look up metadata in the database (date, issue, page number) and add it to the HTML answer (title tag, time information). Then it could add an image link, maybe also links for other visualisations (like hocrjs). The same program could also do post OCR and fix known OCR errors. That process would preserve the original OCR results, deliver the best post OCR available and preserve disk space.
