Can you share original pdf to investigate if the problem could not be solved on pdf level (e.g. extract image from pdf without watermark) ?
Your problem is not related to tesseract (or other way - tesseract is not tool that helps you remove watermark), so better option would be to post in on stackoverflow. I found several examples how remove watermark, but unfortunately non of them works with your image. Just for inspiration what is possible: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50792812/how-to-remove-watermark-background-in-image-python http://davidsteccieblog.blogspot.com/2017/10/removing-watermarks.html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32125281/removing-watermark-out-of-an-image-using-opencv?noredirect=1&lq=1 https://magda.space/removing-circles-lines-patterns-part-1/ https://magda.space/removing-circles-lines-patterns-part-1-5/ https://magda.space/removing-circles-lines-patterns-part-2/ Zdenko pi 7. 2. 2020 o 17:11 Mark Heere <[email protected]> napĂsal(a): > Is there a way to remove the diagonal letters from this page?
