## Features
* Support for up to 10 segmentation classes:
* background, [page border](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lyRand.html), [text region](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lytextregion.html#textregionen__textregion_), [text line](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/pagexml/pagecontent_xsd_Complex_Type_pc_TextLineType.html), [header](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lyUeberschrift.html), [image](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lyBildbereiche.html), [separator](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lySeparatoren.html), [marginalia](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lyMarginalie.html), [initial](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lyInitiale.html), [table](https://ocr-d.de/en/gt-guidelines/trans/lyTabellen.html)
* Support for various image optimization operations:
* cropping (border detection), binarization, deskewing, dewarping, scaling, enhancing, resizing
* Text line segmentation to bounding boxes or polygons (contours) including for curved lines and vertical text
* Detection of reading order
* Output in [PAGE-XML](https://github.com/PRImA-Research-Lab/PAGE-XML)
* [OCR-D](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah#use-as-ocr-d-processor) interface
* [Examples](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah/wiki#examples)
## Installation
Python versions `3.8-3.11` with Tensorflow versions `<2.16` on Linux are currently supported.
For (limited) GPU support the CUDA toolkit needs to be installed.
You can either install from PyPI
```
pip install eynollah
```
or clone the repository, enter it and install (editable) with
```
git clone git@github.com:qurator-spk/eynollah.git
cd eynollah; pip install -e .
```
Alternatively, run `make install` or `make install-dev` for editable installation.
## Models
Pre-trained models can be downloaded either from [qurator-data.de](https://qurator-data.de/eynollah/) or [huggingface](https://huggingface.co/SBB).
## Train
🚧 **Work in progress**
In case you want to train your own model, have a look at [`train`](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah/tree/main/eynollah/eynollah/train).
## Use
The command-line interface can be called like this:
```sh
eynollah \
-i <single image file> | -di <directory containing image files> \
-o <output directory> \
-m <directory containing model files> \
[OPTIONS]
```
The following options can be used to further configure the processing:
| option | description |
|----------|:-------------|
| `-fl` | full layout analysis including all steps and segmentation classes |
| `-light` | lighter and faster but simpler method for main region detection and deskewing |
| `-tab` | apply table detection |
| `-ae` | apply enhancement (the resulting image is saved to the output directory) |
| `-as` | apply scaling |
| `-cl` | apply contour detection for curved text lines instead of bounding boxes |
| `-ib` | apply binarization (the resulting image is saved to the output directory) |
| `-ep` | enable plotting (MUST always be used with `-sl`, `-sd`, `-sa`, `-si` or `-ae`) |
| `-ho` | ignore headers for reading order dectection |
| `-si <directory>` | save image regions detected to this directory |
| `-sd <directory>` | save deskewed image to this directory |
| `-sl <directory>` | save layout prediction as plot to this directory |
| `-sp <directory>` | save cropped page image to this directory |
| `-sa <directory>` | save all (plot, enhanced/binary image, layout) to this directory |
If no option is set, the tool will perform layout detection of main regions (background, text, images, separators and marginals).
The tool produces better quality output when RGB images are used as input than greyscale or binarized images.
#### Use as OCR-D processor
Eynollah ships with a CLI interface to be used as [OCR-D](https://ocr-d.de) processor.
In this case, the source image file group with (preferably) RGB images should be used as input like this:
```
ocrd-eynollah-segment -I OCR-D-IMG -O SEG-LINE -P models
```
Any image referenced by `@imageFilename` in PAGE-XML is passed on directly to Eynollah as a processor, so that e.g.
```
ocrd-eynollah-segment -I OCR-D-IMG-BIN -O SEG-LINE -P models
```
uses the original (RGB) image despite any binarization that may have occured in previous OCR-D processing steps
