I'm trying to use Tesseract to detect the presence of text in images. I'm not concerned about the accuracy of the OCR, but would like Tesseract to return a non-empty answer if there is something in the picture. I have a few questions:
1. Are there any other image processing algorithms/tools I should look into besides Tesseract for this task? 2. Are there any config settings I might want to tweak to make Tesseract behave better as a binary classifier? I tried tweaking the "dictionary trust" settings as described in the FAQ, but didn't see much difference. 3. Attached are a few images that Tesseract 3.02.02 tells me are blank. Are these just pathological cases, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help! Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
