Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder::ClassifierCallback> cv::text::loadOCRHMMClassifierNM ( const std::string &  filename)

Allow to implicitly load the default character classifier when creating an OCRHMMDecoder object.

Parameters
filenameThe XML or YAML file with the classifier model (e.g. OCRHMM_knn_model_data.xml)

The default classifier is based in the scene text recognition method proposed by Lukás Neumann & Jiri Matas in [Neumann11b]. Basically, the region (contour) in the input image is normalized to a fixed size, while retaining the centroid and aspect ratio, in order to extract a feature vector based on gradient orientations along the chain-code of its perimeter. Then, the region is classified using a KNN model trained with synthetic data of rendered characters with different standard font types.
