ocrd_calamari

Recognize text using Calamari OCR.

Introduction

This offers a OCR-D compliant workspace processor for some of the functionality of Calamari OCR.

This processor only operates on the text line level and so needs a line segmentation (and by extension a binarized image) as its input.

Example Usage

ocrd-calamari-recognize -p test-parameters.json -m mets.xml -I OCR-D-SEG-LINE -O OCR-D-OCR-CALAMARI

With test-parameters.json:

{
    "checkpoint": "/path/to/some/trained/models/*.ckpt.json"
}

TODO

• Support Calamari's "extended prediction data" output
• Currently, the processor only supports a prediction using confidence voting of multiple models. While this is superior, it makes sense to support single model prediction, too.
