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.

In addition to the line text it may also output word and glyph segmentation including per-glyph confidence values and per-glyph alternative predictions as provided by the Calamari OCR engine, using a textequiv_level of word or glyph. Note that while Calamari does not provide word segmentation, this processor produces word segmentation inferred from text segmentation and the glyph positions. The provided glyph and word segmentation can be used for text extraction and highlighting, but is probably not useful for further image-based processing.

Installation

From PyPI

pip install ocrd_calamari

From Repo

pip install .

Install models
