hi everyone, I am trying to decode a single line of text that is a bit noisy. Link to uploaded image is attached. The text is "MAX665," but what I'm getting back is "THAI 6 8-51-".
http://tesseract-ocr.googlegroups.com/web/row1.bmp?gda=iO7ypToAAABJaCRJGWfX_qPCIQ7C4NkPrfoTOVd7wlGlVfd1g07AArmU4fy-mX2UP_udoPbSXxr97daDQaep90o7AOpSKHW0 I'm using version 2.04 and default eng language. I have looked at the thresholded image and it looks pretty good and similar to the source image. recog_all_words() in control.cpp tries to decode each word. Inside classify_word_pass1 raw_choice for the first word is "TMAX" before chopping. But after improve_by_chopping() and word_associator() it is changed to "T|4A1". And best_choice string for the word is "MAJ". After classify_word_pass2() raw_choice is "THAKX" and best_choice is "THAI". And for the final string best_choice is used. It seems like Tesseract is designed for word recognition and not character recognition. If there are a sequence of characters that do not makeup a meaningful word, it messes up. I'm trying to figure out some magic variables, if there are any, to disable the word recognition part and do pure OCR. If anyone can give me some pointers I'd appreciate it. I'm Khoshteep. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
