org.opencv.text.OCRTesseract

public class OCRTesseract
extends BaseOCR

OCRTesseract class provides an interface with the tesseract-ocr API (v3.02.02) in C++. Notice that it is compiled only when tesseract-ocr is correctly installed. Note:

• (C++) An example of OCRTesseract recognition combined with scene text detection can be found at the end_to_end_recognition demo: <https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/blob/master/modules/text/samples/end_to_end_recognition.cpp>
  • (C++) Another example of OCRTesseract recognition combined with scene text detection can be found at the webcam_demo: <https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/blob/master/modules/text/samples/webcam_demo.cpp>

                            int component_level)

Recognize text using the tesseract-ocr API. Takes 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 image CV_8UC1 or CV_8UC3 text elements found (e.g. words or text lines). recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words or text lines). for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words or text lines).

component_level - OCR_LEVEL_WORD (by default), or OCR_LEVEL_TEXTLINE.

min_confidence - automatically generated

Returns:

automatically generated
