input

This is the result of the OCR :

In this example you have the following information:

  • The text is in the TextEquiv tag
  • The confidence is in the conf attribute of the TextEquiv tag
  • The coordinates of the text are in the Coords tag

Installation

git clone <this repo>

/!\ This demo requires the models to be installed /!\

To install the model download the model from the realase page and extract it in the misc/pero-ocr-fix-computation-on-cpu of the project.

https://github.com/grongierisc/iris-pero-ocr/releases/download/v1.0.0/OC...

https://github.com/grongierisc/iris-pero-ocr/releases/download/v1.0.0/Pa...

/!\ Both models are required /!\

Then docker-compose up

docker-compose up

Usage

Put any sample image in the samples folder and copy them in misc/in folder and they will be processed by the OCR.

The results will be in the misc/out folder.

You will find the xml files with the results and the images with the detected text.

You can monitor the progress in the logs here http

login with _SYSTEM and SYS

How it works in IRIS

The OCR is an Business Service that parse all the files in the misc/in folder and put the results in a message queue.

The message queue is consumed by a Business Operation that put the results in the misc/out folder.

Code is in the src/python/pero-ocr folder.

I love the subject matter - I was touring Independence Hall in Philadelphia on New Year's Eve with my family (which is where this document was signed).  Following up with watching '1776' (the musical), and "National Treasure" in the following couple of days :)  So I've been having a lot of focus on the U.S. Declaration of Independence recently ;)
