PyTesseract call working very slow when used along with multiprocessing

独自空忆成欢 提交于 2019-12-19 10:45:22
问题 I've a function that takes in a list of images and produces the output, in a list, after applying OCR to the image. I have an another function that controls the input to this function, by using multiprocessing. So, when I have a single list (i.e. no multiprocessing), each image of the list took ~ 1s, but when I increased the lists that had to be processed parallely to 4, each image took an astounding 13s. To understand where the problem really is, I tried to create a minimal working example

问题 I am trying to read captcha using pytesseract module. And it is giving accurate text most of the time, but not all the time. This is code to read the image, manipulate the image and extract text from the image. import cv2 import numpy as np import pytesseract def read_captcha(): # opencv loads the image in BGR, convert it to RGB img = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread('captcha.png'), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB) lower_white = np.array([200, 200, 200], dtype=np.uint8) upper_white = np.array([255, 255, 255], dtype

问题 I have aplied pytesseract in Three similar images of the digit "2". Only in the last one, pytesseract reconize correctly the digit. The three images have diferent dimensions and if i change the dimension of the images in the right way, pytesseract correctly reconize them. But i dont understand how a powerful ocr like tesseract is not working well in a so easy and clear image. first image, fail in recognize second image, also fail third image, sucessful im using python 3.7 with anaconda,

Thanks for helping 回答1: Tesseract is

问题 I am new to opencv and python as well as tesseract. Now, I am creating a script that will recognize text from an image. My code works perfectly on black text and white background or white text with black background but not in colored images. Example, white text with blue background such as a button. Is the font also affecting this? In this case, I am finding the Reboot text (the button) this is the sample image I tried bunch of codes and methods on image preprocessing via opencv but failed to

Here is my sample image: 回答1: The simplest tesseract.exe syntax is tesseract.exe inputimage output-text-file . The assumption here, is that tesseract.exe is added to the PATH environment variable. You can add the -psm N argument if your text argument is particularly hard to recognize. I see that the
