§ create() [1/2]

static Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder> cv::text::OCRHMMDecoder::create ( const Ptr< OCRHMMDecoder::ClassifierCallback classifier,
const String vocabulary,
InputArray  transition_probabilities_table,
InputArray  emission_probabilities_table,
int  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
classifierThe character classifier with built in feature extractor.
vocabularyThe language vocabulary (chars when ascii english text). vocabulary.size() must be equal to the number of classes of the classifier.
transition_probabilities_tableTable with transition probabilities between character pairs. cols == rows == vocabulary.size().
emission_probabilities_tableTable with observation emission probabilities. cols == rows == vocabulary.size().
modeHMM Decoding algorithm. Only OCR_DECODER_VITERBI is available for the moment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viterbi_algorithm).

§ create() [2/2]

static Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder> cv::text::OCRHMMDecoder::create ( const String filename,
const String vocabulary,
InputArray  transition_probabilities_table,
InputArray  emission_probabilities_table,
int  mode = OCR_DECODER_VITERBI,
int  classifier = OCR_KNN_CLASSIFIER 
)
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
imageInput binary image CV_8UC1 with a single text line (or word).
output_textOutput text. Most likely character sequence found by the HMM decoder.
component_rectsIf provided the method will output a list of Rects for the individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_textsIf provided the method will output a list of text strings for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_confidencesIf provided the method will output a list of confidence values for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_levelOnly OCR_LEVEL_WORD is supported.

Implements cv::text::BaseOCR.

Mat mask,
std::string &  output_text,
std::vector< Rect > *  component_rects = NULL,

)
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
imageInput image CV_8UC1 or CV_8UC3 with a single text line (or word).
maskInput binary image CV_8UC1 same size as input image. Each connected component in mask corresponds to a segmented character in the input image.
output_textOutput text. Most likely character sequence found by the HMM decoder.
component_rectsIf provided the method will output a list of Rects for the individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_textsIf provided the method will output a list of text strings for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_confidencesIf provided the method will output a list of confidence values for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_levelOnly OCR_LEVEL_WORD is supported.

Implements cv::text::BaseOCR.
