Use pytesseract OCR to recognize text from an image

Question

I need to use Pytesseract to extract text from this picture:

and the code:

from PIL import Image, ImageEnhance, ImageFilter
import pytesseract
         


        

Answer 1

you only need grow up the size of picture by cv2.resize

image = cv2.resize(image,(0,0),fx=7,fy=7)

my picture 200x40 -> HZUBS

resized same picture 1400x300 -> A 1234 (so, this is right)

and then,

retval, image = cv2.threshold(image,200,255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
image = cv2.GaussianBlur(image,(11,11),0)
image = cv2.medianBlur(image,9)

and change parameters for enhance results

Page segmentation modes:
  0    Orientation and script detection (OSD) only.
  1    Automatic page segmentation with OSD.
  2    Automatic page segmentation, but no OSD, or OCR.
  3    Fully automatic page segmentation, but no OSD. (Default)
  4    Assume a single column of text of variable sizes.
  5    Assume a single uniform block of vertically aligned text.
  6    Assume a single uniform block of text.
  7    Treat the image as a single text line.
  8    Treat the image as a single word.
  9    Treat the image as a single word in a circle.
 10    Treat the image as a single character.
 11    Sparse text. Find as much text as possible in no particular order.
 12    Sparse text with OSD.
 13    Raw line. Treat the image as a single text line,
            bypassing hacks that are Tesseract-specific.
