Detailed Description

The following methods break TesseractRect into pieces, so you can get hold of the thresholded image, get the text in different formats, get bounding boxes, confidences etc.

Function Documentation

AdaptToWordStr()

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::AdaptToWordStr	(	PageSegMode	mode,
		const char *	wordstr
	)

Applies the given word to the adaptive classifier if possible. The word must be SPACE-DELIMITED UTF-8 - l i k e t h i s , so it can tell the boundaries of the graphemes. Assumes that SetImage/SetRectangle have been used to set the image to the given word. The mode arg should be PSM_SINGLE_WORD or PSM_CIRCLE_WORD, as that will be used to control layout analysis. The currently set PageSegMode is preserved. Returns false if adaption was not possible for some reason.

AllWordConfidences()

int * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::AllWordConfidences

(

)

Returns all word confidences (between 0 and 100) in an array, terminated by -1. The calling function must delete [] after use. The number of confidences should correspond to the number of space- delimited words in GetUTF8Text.

Returns an array of all word confidences, terminated by -1.

AnalyseLayout() [1/2]

PageIterator * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::AnalyseLayout

(

)

Runs page layout analysis in the mode set by SetPageSegMode. May optionally be called prior to Recognize to get access to just the page layout results. Returns an iterator to the results. If merge_similar_words is true, words are combined where suitable for use with a line recognizer. Use if you want to use AnalyseLayout to find the textlines, and then want to process textline fragments with an external line recognizer. Returns nullptr on error or an empty page. The returned iterator must be deleted after use. WARNING! This class points to data held within the TessBaseAPI class, and therefore can only be used while the TessBaseAPI class still exists and has not been subjected to a call of Init, SetImage, Recognize, Clear, End DetectOS, or anything else that changes the internal PAGE_RES.

  }
  return nullptr;
}

Clear()

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::Clear

(

)

Free up recognition results and any stored image data, without actually freeing any recognition data that would be time-consuming to reload. Afterwards, you must call SetImage or TesseractRect before doing any Recognize or Get* operation.

Definition at line 2182 of file baseapi.cpp.

  if (tesseract_ != nullptr) SetInputImage(nullptr);
}

ClearPersistentCache()

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::ClearPersistentCache ( )

static

Clear any library-level memory caches. There are a variety of expensive-to-load constant data structures (mostly language dictionaries) that are cached globally – surviving the Init() and End() of individual TessBaseAPI's. This function allows the clearing of these caches.

Definition at line 2230 of file baseapi.cpp.

  Dict::GlobalDawgCache()->DeleteUnusedDawgs();
}

DeleteBlockList()

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::DeleteBlockList ( BLOCK_LIST *  block_list )

static

Delete a block list. This is to keep BLOCK_LIST pointer opaque and let go of including the other headers.

Definition at line 2668 of file baseapi.cpp.

                                                        {

DetectOrientationScript()

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::DetectOrientationScript	(	int *	orient_deg,
		float *	orient_conf,
		const char **	script_name,
		float *	script_conf
	)

Detect the orientation of the input image and apparent script (alphabet). orient_deg is the detected clockwise rotation of the input image in degrees (0, 90, 180, 270) orient_conf is the confidence (15.0 is reasonably confident) script_name is an ASCII string, the name of the script, e.g. "Latin" script_conf is confidence level in the script Returns true on success and writes values to each parameter as an output

    *script_name = script;

  return orientation_and_script_detection(*input_file_, osr, tesseract_) > 0;
}

End()

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::End

(

)

Close down tesseract and free up all memory. End() is equivalent to destructing and reconstructing your TessBaseAPI. Once End() has been used, none of the other API functions may be used other than Init and anything declared above it in the class definition.

ROW * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::FindRowForBox ( BLOCK_LIST *  blocks, int  left, int  top, int  right, int  bottom  )

  }
  return nullptr;
}

GetBlockTextOrientations()

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::GetBlockTextOrientations	(	int **	block_orientation,
		bool **	vertical_writing
	)

Return text orientation of each block as determined by an earlier run of layout analysis.

Return text orientation of each block as determined in an earlier page layout analysis operation. Orientation is returned as the number of ccw 90-degree rotations (in [0..3]) required to make the text in the block upright (readable). Note that this may not necessary be the block orientation preferred for recognition (such as the case of vertical CJK text).

Also returns whether the text in the block is believed to have vertical writing direction (when in an upright page orientation).

The returned array is of length equal to the number of text blocks, which may be less than the total number of blocks. The ordering is intended to be consistent with GetTextLines().

GetBoxText()

char * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::GetBoxText

(

int

page_number

)

The recognized text is returned as a char* which is coded in the same format as a box file used in training. Constructs coordinates in the original image - not just the rectangle. page_number is a 0-based page index that will appear in the box file. Returned string must be freed with the delete [] operator.

Get the given level kind of components (block, textline, word etc.) as a leptonica-style Boxa, Pixa pair, in reading order. Can be called before or after Recognize. If blockids is not nullptr, the block-id of each component is also returned as an array of one element per component. delete [] after use. If blockids is not nullptr, the paragraph-id of each component with its block is also returned as an array of one element per component. delete [] after use. If raw_image is true, then portions of the original image are extracted instead of the thresholded image and padded with raw_padding. If text_only is true, then only text components are returned.

Get the textlines as a leptonica-style Boxa, Pixa pair, in reading order. Can be called before or after Recognize. If raw_image is true, then extract from the original image instead of the thresholded image and pad by raw_padding pixels. If blockids is not nullptr, the block-id of each line is also returned as an array of one element per line. delete [] after use. If paraids is not nullptr, the paragraph-id of each line within its block is also returned as an array of one element per line. delete [] after use.

ProcessPages()

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::ProcessPages	(	const char *	filename,
		const char *	retry_config,
		int	timeout_millisec,
		TessResultRenderer *	renderer
	)

Turns images into symbolic text.

filename can point to a single image, a multi-page TIFF, or a plain text list of image filenames.

retry_config is useful for debugging. If not nullptr, you can fall back to an alternate configuration if a page fails for some reason.

timeout_millisec terminates processing if any single page takes too long. Set to 0 for unlimited time.

renderer is responible for creating the output. For example, use the TessTextRenderer if you want plaintext output, or the TessPDFRender to produce searchable PDF.

If tessedit_page_number is non-negative, will only process that single page. Works for multi-page tiff file, or filelist.

Returns true if successful, false on error.

Provide an image for Tesseract to recognize. Format is as TesseractRect above. Copies the image buffer and converts to Pix. SetImage clears all recognition results, and sets the rectangle to the full image, so it may be followed immediately by a GetUTF8Text, and it will automatically perform recognition.

Use Pix where possible. Tesseract uses Pix as its internal representation and it is therefore more efficient to provide a Pix directly.
