Hi, Just wanted to say that I spent the last few days studying your 'Using the latest tesseract' and related pages. I think those are the best (and most timely) tesseract help docs I've seen and they were crucial in helping me build tesseract and helper utils and the example app in VC2008. So now I have the tools to do what I wanted to do. Yep, finally got Tortoise and repository check out working and VC2008 downloaded and working and everything buildable from code. Thanks so much zdenop and TP! I see that you two are powerhouses on the subject.
The reason I wanted to get tesseract working from console/dos/cmd (and I'll post this under a more relevant topic) was because I need the ACTUAL positions of character boxes from a recognizable text block. NOT the horizontally normalized result of (in Java) getUTF8Text() / getCharacters().getBoxRects(). I noticed that the result of the tesseract -l 01 01a_r1.bmp 01a_r1 batch.nochop makebox training component DOES return the true positions. I'm wanting to determine text line angles by taking advantage of a known multi-block/region format of my input pages over finite horizontal distances. I want it as an option to other approaches to angular (and scale and translation) correction, knowing full well that tesseract is quite good at reading such non-ideal text already. At least previous (<3.02) versions of tesseract can do that allright. Just not report back what that off-angle actually WAS. That info may well be included by now. Dunno. I've already explored min enclosing rectangles (and the angular info available from them) too. The only other fellow I could find who needed the same thing I found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tesseract-ocr/_J7Foxqluyg/rQhjCbMPOwQJ My ultimate app is Java aboard Android. I also thought the leap from dos exe to Android would be too much of a single leap. Best to start with something reportedly working. But you may already have shown me the solution, amazing Mr. zdenop, at: http://95.154.230.254/ip-1/encoded/Oi8vcGFzdGViaW4uY29tL0MxR1pLOWJ2 But if anyone knows of another angle/translation/scale image correction approach (or code), I'd love to hear about it. I.e. Image stabilization. Thanks again zdenop and TP! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
