Detailed Description

OCRHMMDecoder class provides an interface for OCR using Hidden Markov Models.

Note

(C++) An example on using OCRHMMDecoder recognition combined with scene text detection can be found at the webcam_demo sample: https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/blob/master/modules/text/samples/webcam_demo.cpp

§ create() [1/3]

static Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder> cv::text::OCRHMMDecoder::create	(	const Ptr< OCRHMMDecoder::ClassifierCallback >	classifier,
		const std::string &	vocabulary,
		InputArray	transition_probabilities_table,
		InputArray	emission_probabilities_table,
		decoder_mode	mode = `OCR_DECODER_VITERBI`
	)

static

Python:
	retval	=	cv.text.OCRHMMDecoder_create(	classifier, vocabulary, transition_probabilities_table, emission_probabilities_table[, mode]	)
	retval	=	cv.text.OCRHMMDecoder_create(	filename, vocabulary, transition_probabilities_table, emission_probabilities_table[, mode[, classifier]]	)

Creates an instance of the OCRHMMDecoder class. Initializes HMMDecoder.

Parameters

classifier	The character classifier with built in feature extractor.
vocabulary	The language vocabulary (chars when ascii english text). vocabulary.size() must be equal to the number of classes of the classifier.
transition_probabilities_table	Table with transition probabilities between character pairs. cols == rows == vocabulary.size().
emission_probabilities_table	Table with observation emission probabilities. cols == rows == vocabulary.size().
mode	HMM Decoding algorithm. Only OCR_DECODER_VITERBI is available for the moment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viterbi_algorithm).

	)

	retval	=	cv.text.OCRHMMDecoder_create(	filename, vocabulary, transition_probabilities_table, emission_probabilities_table[, mode[, classifier]]	)

§ create() [3/3]

		const String &	vocabulary,
		InputArray	transition_probabilities_table,
		InputArray	emission_probabilities_table,

static

Python:
	retval	=	cv.text.OCRHMMDecoder_create(	classifier, vocabulary, transition_probabilities_table, emission_probabilities_table[, mode]	)
	retval	=	cv.text.OCRHMMDecoder_create(	filename, vocabulary, transition_probabilities_table, emission_probabilities_table[, mode[, classifier]]	)

Creates an instance of the OCRHMMDecoder class. Loads and initializes HMMDecoder from the specified path.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

§ run() [1/4]

virtual void cv::text::OCRHMMDecoder::run	(	Mat &	image,
		std::string &	output_text,
		std::vector< Rect > *	component_rects = `NULL`,
		std::vector< std::string > *	component_texts = `NULL`,
		std::vector< float > *	component_confidences = `NULL`,
		int	component_level = `0`
	)

virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.text_OCRHMMDecoder.run(	image, min_confidence[, component_level]	)
	retval	=	cv.text_OCRHMMDecoder.run(	image, mask, min_confidence[, component_level]	)

Recognize text using HMM.

Takes binary image on input and returns recognized text in the output_text parameter. Optionally provides also the Rects for individual text elements found (e.g. words), and the list of those text elements with their confidence values.

Parameters

image	Input binary image CV_8UC1 with a single text line (or word).
output_text	Output text. Most likely character sequence found by the HMM decoder.
component_rects	If provided the method will output a list of Rects for the individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_texts	If provided the method will output a list of text strings for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_confidences	If provided the method will output a list of confidence values for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_level	Only OCR_LEVEL_WORD is supported.

Implements cv::text::BaseOCR.

		int	component_level = `0`
	)

virtual

Python:
	retval	=	cv.text_OCRHMMDecoder.run(	image, min_confidence[, component_level]	)
	retval	=	cv.text_OCRHMMDecoder.run(	image, mask, min_confidence[, component_level]	)

Recognize text using HMM.

Takes an image and a mask (where each connected component corresponds to a segmented character) on input and returns recognized text in the output_text parameter. Optionally provides also the Rects for individual text elements found (e.g. words), and the list of those text elements with their confidence values.

Parameters

image	Input image CV_8UC1 or CV_8UC3 with a single text line (or word).
mask	Input binary image CV_8UC1 same size as input image. Each connected component in mask corresponds to a segmented character in the input image.
output_text	Output text. Most likely character sequence found by the HMM decoder.
component_rects	If provided the method will output a list of Rects for the individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_texts	If provided the method will output a list of text strings for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_confidences	If provided the method will output a list of confidence values for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_level	Only OCR_LEVEL_WORD is supported.

Implements cv::text::BaseOCR.
