What is PBM ?

PBM (Portable Bitmap) is a simple monochrome image format that is part of the Netpbm format family. It is primarily used for black-and-white images, where each pixel is represented as either black or white, making it suitable for simple graphics and binary data representation.

What is TSV (OCR) ?

TSV (OCR) is not a format of its own. What you download is an ordinary tab-separated table that any spreadsheet opens. It holds what optical character recognition found in your image, one row per recognised word, with the block, line and word it belongs to, the box it occupies in pixels, and a confidence score.
