      • loadOCRHMMClassifierNM

        @Deprecated
public static OCRHMMDecoder_ClassifierCallback loadOCRHMMClassifierNM​(java.lang.String filename)
        Deprecated.
        loadOCRHMMClassifier instead
        Allow to implicitly load the default character classifier when creating an OCRHMMDecoder object.
        Parameters:
        filename - The XML or YAML file with the classifier model (e.g. OCRHMM_knn_model_data.xml) The KNN 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.
        Returns:
        automatically generated

      • loadOCRHMMClassifierCNN

        @Deprecated
public static OCRHMMDecoder_ClassifierCallback loadOCRHMMClassifierCNN​(java.lang.String filename)
        Deprecated.
        use loadOCRHMMClassifier instead
        Allow to implicitly load the default character classifier when creating an OCRHMMDecoder object.
        Parameters:
        filename - The XML or YAML file with the classifier model (e.g. OCRBeamSearch_CNN_model_data.xml.gz) The CNN default classifier is based in the scene text recognition method proposed by Adam Coates & Andrew NG in [Coates11a]. The character classifier consists in a Single Layer Convolutional Neural Network and a linear classifier. It is applied to the input image in a sliding window fashion, providing a set of recognitions at each window location.
        Returns:
        automatically generated

                                     int _mode)
        Compute the different channels to be processed independently in the N&M algorithm CITE: Neumann12.
        Parameters:
        _src - Source image. Must be RGB CV_8UC3.
        _channels - Output vector<Mat> where computed channels are stored.
        _mode - Mode of operation. Currently the only available options are: ERFILTER_NM_RGBLGrad (used by default) and ERFILTER_NM_IHSGrad. In N&M algorithm, the combination of intensity (I), hue (H), saturation (S), and gradient magnitude channels (Grad) are used in order to obtain high localization recall. This implementation also provides an alternative combination of red (R), green (G), blue (B), lightness (L), and gradient magnitude (Grad).

        Converts MSER contours (vector<Point>) to ERStat regions.
        Parameters:
        image - Source image CV_8UC1 from which the MSERs where extracted.
        regions - Output where the ERStat regions are stored. It takes as input the contours provided by the OpenCV MSER feature detector and returns as output two vectors of ERStats. This is because MSER() output contains both MSER+ and MSER- regions in a single vector<Point>, the function separates them in two different vectors (this is as if the ERStats where extracted from two different channels). An example of MSERsToERStats in use can be found in the text detection webcam_demo: <https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/blob/master/modules/text/samples/webcam_demo.cpp>
