Detailed Description

The following methods break TesseractRect into pieces, so you can get hold of the thresholded image, get the text in different formats, get bounding boxes, confidences etc.

Function Documentation

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::AdaptToWordStr	(	PageSegMode	mode,
		const char *	wordstr
	)

Applies the given word to the adaptive classifier if possible. The word must be SPACE-DELIMITED UTF-8 - l i k e t h i s , so it can tell the boundaries of the graphemes. Assumes that SetImage/SetRectangle have been used to set the image to the given word. The mode arg should be PSM_SINGLE_WORD or PSM_CIRCLE_WORD, as that will be used to control layout analysis. The currently set PageSegMode is preserved. Returns false if adaption was not possible for some reason.

PageIterator * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::AnalyseLayout ( )

Returns NULL on error. The returned iterator must be deleted after use. WARNING! This class points to data held within the TessBaseAPI class, and therefore can only be used while the TessBaseAPI class still exists and has not been subjected to a call of Init, SetImage, Recognize, Clear, End DetectOS, or anything else that changes the internal PAGE_RES.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::End ( )

Close down tesseract and free up all memory. End() is equivalent to destructing and reconstructing your TessBaseAPI. Once End() has been used, none of the other API functions may be used other than Init and anything declared above it in the class definition.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::GetBlockTextOrientations	(	int **	block_orientation,
		bool **	vertical_writing
	)

Return text orientation of each block as determined by an earlier run of layout analysis.

Return text orientation of each block as determined in an earlier page layout analysis operation. Orientation is returned as the number of ccw 90-degree rotations (in [0..3]) required to make the text in the block upright (readable). Note that this may not necessary be the block orientation preferred for recognition (such as the case of vertical CJK text).

Also returns whether the text in the block is believed to have vertical writing direction (when in an upright page orientation).

The returned array is of length equal to the number of text blocks, which may be less than the total number of blocks. The ordering is intended to be consistent with GetTextLines().

The recognized text is returned as a char* which is coded in the same format as a box file used in training. Returned string must be freed with the delete [] operator.

Boxa * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::GetComponentImages	(	PageIteratorLevel	level,

Get the given level kind of components (block, textline, word etc.) as a leptonica-style Boxa, Pixa pair, in reading order. Can be called before or after Recognize. If blockids is not NULL, the block-id of each component is also returned as an array of one element per component. delete [] after use. If text_only is true, then only text components are returned.

Gets the individual connected (text) components (created after pages segmentation step, but before recognition) as a leptonica-style Boxa, Pixa pair, in reading order. Can be called before or after Recognize. Note: the caller is responsible for calling boxaDestroy() on the returned Boxa array and pixaDestroy() on cc array.

Recognizes a single page for ProcessPages, appending the text to text_out. The pix is the image processed - filename and page_index are metadata used by side-effect processes, such as reading a box file or formatting as hOCR. If non-zero timeout_millisec terminates processing after the timeout. If non-NULL and non-empty, and some page fails for some reason, the page is reprocessed with the retry_config config file. Useful for interactively debugging a bad page. The text is returned in text_out. Returns false on error.

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::ProcessPages	(	const char *	filename,

Recognizes all the pages in the named file, as a multi-page tiff or list of filenames, or single image, and gets the appropriate kind of text according to parameters: tessedit_create_boxfile, tessedit_make_boxes_from_boxes, tessedit_write_unlv, tessedit_create_hocr. Calls ProcessPage on each page in the input file, which may be a multi-page tiff, single-page other file format, or a plain text list of images to read. If tessedit_page_number is non-negative, processing begins at that page of a multi-page tiff file, or filelist. The text is returned in text_out. Returns false on error. If non-zero timeout_millisec terminates processing after the timeout on a single page. If non-NULL and non-empty, and some page fails for some reason, the page is reprocessed with the retry_config config file. Useful for interactively debugging a bad page.

Provide an image for Tesseract to recognize. Format is as TesseractRect above. Does not copy the image buffer, or take ownership. The source image may be destroyed after Recognize is called, either explicitly or implicitly via one of the Get*Text functions.

Pix vs raw, which to use? Use Pix where possible. A future version of Tesseract may choose to use Pix as its internal representation and discard IMAGE altogether. Because of that, an implementation that sources and targets Pix may end up with less copies than an implementation that does not.
