In this paper the authors write, "The main aspect of this paper is the comparison of methods for localizing stable objects." Imagine, after specimen imaging, being able to use an algorithm to group all the images with a red label indicating the specimen is a type. Or, what if it was possible to group all the images in a collection that have been stamped "Imaged 2002" (or not)? How about using an algorithm to "remove the plant" from the image so that OCR sees only the text on the sheet? Check out the progress made by Steinke et al in the paper to learn more about what it is possible to do using algorithms on OCR output - to find particular objects on a herbarium sheet.
