Thank you Shree!! :) Ok after rotating it, tesseract haven't succeed retrieving the text.
*BUT* I kept experimenting with convert app (part of ImageMagick 6.8.9), and resized the photo twice, eventually the words got retrieved!! hooray! :) *So I was wondering.what is a good practice when taking shots with a smartphone?* it was mentioned: Tesseract works best on images which have a DPI of at least 300 dpi, so it may be beneficial to resize images. moreover it was mentioned in the git repo: Tesseract does various image processing operations internally (using the Leptonica library) before doing the actual OCR. *BTW is there a config parameter for enabling resizing image in case of a problematic input?* On Thursday, June 28, 2018 at 10:38:20 PM UTC+3, shree wrote: > > Rotate your shot to correct orientation and try. > > On 6/28/18, [email protected] <javascript:> <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > > I'm quite new to tesseract and would like to use it in a project for > OCR > > purposes, > > I found a tutorial on the web with photos, so I have executed tesseract > > (tesseract 4.0.0-beta.2) on it, > > and noticed it has *successfully retrieved every single word*, wow > > IMPRESSIVE!! > > > > so I took my smartphone and took a crystal clear photo (no blurry), and > > hoped it would work for me too. > > but *NOTHING it failed miserably* (every word miss :/ bummer) > > > > I read this too: > > https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/ImproveQuality > > > > I tried to figure out what's i'm doing wrong by comparing the metedata > EXIF > > > > of each photo, > > but apparently the photo's metadata from the web tutorial has been > stripped > > > > :/ > > > > Can someone explain to me. what am i missing here?? > > I'm attaching the two photos. > > > > > > Thank you in advance :) > > > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups > > "tesseract-ocr" group. > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send > an > > email to [email protected] <javascript:>. > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > <javascript:>. > > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/tesseract-ocr. > > To view this discussion on the web visit > > > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tesseract-ocr/9676c56c-4ed4-4329-9aad-82937c495b91%40googlegroups.com. > > > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > > > > -- > > ____________________________________________________________ > भजन - कीर्तन - आरती @ http://bhajans.ramparivar.com > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
