My OCR-D workflow
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/mikegerber/my_ocrd_workflow)
|
|
|
|
WIP. Given a OCR-D workspace with document images in the OCR-D-IMG file group,
|
|
this workflow produces:
|
|
|
|
* Binarized images
|
|
* Line segmentation
|
|
* OCR text (using Calamari and Tesseract, both with GT4HistOCR models)
|
|
* (Given ground truth in OCR-D-GT-PAGE, also an OCR text evaluation report)
|
|
|
|
If you're interested in the exact processors, versions and parameters, please
|
|
take a look at the [script](my_ocrd_workflow) and possibly the individual
|
|
Dockerfiles.
|
|
|
|
Goal
|
|
----
|
|
Provide a **test environment** to produce OCR output for historical prints,
|
|
using OCR-D, especially [ocrd_calamari](https://github.com/OCR-D/ocrd_calamari)
|
|
and
|
|
[sbb_textline_detection](https://github.com/qurator-spk/sbb_textline_detection),
|
|
including all dependencies in Docker.
|
|
|
|
How to use
|
|
----------
|
|
It's easiest to use it as pre-built containers. To run the containers on an
|
|
example workspace:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
# Update to the latest stable containers
|
|
(cd ~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/; ./run-docker-hub-update)
|
|
|
|
# Download an example workspace
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
wget https://qurator-data.de/examples/actevedef_718448162.first-page.zip
|
|
unzip actevedef_718448162.first-page.zip
|
|
|
|
# Run the workflow on it
|
|
cd actevedef_718448162.first-page
|
|
~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/run-docker-hub
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
### Build the containers yourself
|
|
To build the containers yourself using Docker:
|
|
~~~
|
|
cd ~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow
|
|
./build
|
|
~~~
|
|
You may then use the script `run` to use your self-built containers, analogous to
|
|
the example above.
|
|
|
|
### Viewing results
|
|
You may then examine the results using
|
|
[PRImA's PAGE Viewer](https://www.primaresearch.org/tools/PAGEViewer):
|
|
~~~
|
|
java -jar /path/to/JPageViewer.jar \
|
|
--resolve-dir . \
|
|
OCR-D-OCR-CALAMARI/OCR-D-OCR-CALAMARI_00000024.xml
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
The workflow also produces OCR evaluation reports using
|
|
[dinglehopper](https://github.com/qurator-spk/dinglehopper), if ground truth was
|
|
available:
|
|
~~~
|
|
firefox OCR-D-OCR-CALAMARI-EVAL/OCR-D-OCR-CALAMARI-EVAL_00000024.html
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
ppn2ocr
|
|
-------
|
|
The `ppn2ocr` script produces a workspace and METS file with the best images for
|
|
a given document in the State Library Berlin (SBB)'s digitized collection.
|
|
|
|
Install it with an up-to-date pip (otherwise this will fail due to [a opencv-python-headless build failure](https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python#frequently-asked-questions)):
|
|
~~~
|
|
pip install -r ~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/requirements-ppn2ocr.txt
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
The document must be specified by its PPN, for example:
|
|
~~~
|
|
~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/ppn2ocr PPN77164308X
|
|
cd PPN77164308X
|
|
~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/run-docker-hub -I BEST --skip-validation
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
This produces a workspace directory `PPN77164308X` with the OCR results in it;
|
|
the results are viewable as explained above.
|
|
|
|
ppn2ocr requires properly set up environment variables for the proxy
|
|
configuration. At SBB, please read `howto/docker-proxy.md` and
|
|
`howto/proxy-settings-for-shell+python.md` (in qurator's mono-repo).
|
|
|
|
ocrd-workspace-from-images
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
The `ocrd-workspace-from-images` script produces a OCR-D workspace (incl. METS)
|
|
for the given images.
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/ocrd-workspace-from-images 0005.png
|
|
cd workspace-xxxxx # output by the last command
|
|
~/devel/my_ocrd_workflow/run-docker-hub
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
This produces a workspace from the files and then runs the OCR workflow on it.
