Detailed Description

Base class for all tesseract APIs. Specific classes can add ability to work on different inputs or produce different outputs. This class is mostly an interface layer on top of the Tesseract instance class to hide the data types so that users of this class don't have to include any other Tesseract headers.

Instances are now mostly thread-safe and totally independent, but some global parameters remain. Basically it is safe to use multiple TessBaseAPIs in different threads in parallel, UNLESS: you use SetVariable on some of the Params in classify and textord. If you do, then the effect will be to change it for all your instances.

Start tesseract. Returns zero on success and -1 on failure. NOTE that the only members that may be called before Init are those listed above here in the class definition.

The datapath must be the name of the parent directory of tessdata and must end in / . Any name after the last / will be stripped. The language is (usually) an ISO 639-3 string or NULL will default to eng. It is entirely safe (and eventually will be efficient too) to call Init multiple times on the same instance to change language, or just to reset the classifier. The language may be a string of the form [~]<lang>[+[~]<lang>]* indicating that multiple languages are to be loaded. Eg hin+eng will load Hindi and English. Languages may specify internally that they want to be loaded with one or more other languages, so the ~ sign is available to override that. Eg if hin were set to load eng by default, then hin+~eng would force loading only hin. The number of loaded languages is limited only by memory, with the caveat that loading additional languages will impact both speed and accuracy, as there is more work to do to decide on the applicable language, and there is more chance of hallucinating incorrect words. WARNING: On changing languages, all Tesseract parameters are reset back to their default values. (Which may vary between languages.) If you have a rare need to set a Variable that controls initialization for a second call to Init you should explicitly call End() and then use SetVariable before Init. This is only a very rare use case, since there are very few uses that require any parameters to be set before Init.

If set_only_non_debug_params is true, only params that do not contain "debug" in the name will be set.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::InitForAnalysePage (  ) 
int tesseract::TessBaseAPI::InitLangMod ( const char *  datapath,
const char *  language 
)

Init only the lang model component of Tesseract. The only functions that work after this init are SetVariable and IsValidWord. WARNING: temporary! This function will be removed from here and placed in a separate API at some future time.

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::InternalSetImage (  )  [protected]

Common code for setting the image. Returns true if Init has been called.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::PrintVariables ( FILE *  fp  )  const
void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::ReadConfigFile ( const char *  filename  ) 

Read a "config" file containing a set of param, value pairs. Searches the standard places: tessdata/configs, tessdata/tessconfigs and also accepts a relative or absolute path name. Note: only non-init params will be set (init params are set by Init()).

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::ReadDebugConfigFile ( const char *  filename  ) 

Same as above, but only set debug params from the given config file.

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::SetDebugVariable ( const char *  name,
const char *  value 
)
void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::SetInputName ( const char *  name  ) 

Set the name of the input file. Needed only for training and reading a UNLV zone file.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::SetOutputName ( const char *  name  ) 

Set the name of the bonus output files. Needed only for debugging.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::SetPageSegMode ( PageSegMode  mode  ) 

Set the current page segmentation mode. Defaults to PSM_SINGLE_BLOCK. The mode is stored as an IntParam so it can also be modified by ReadConfigFile or SetVariable("tessedit_pageseg_mode", mode as string).

bool tesseract::TessBaseAPI::SetVariable ( const char *  name,
const char *  value 
)

Set the value of an internal "parameter." Supply the name of the parameter and the value as a string, just as you would in a config file. Returns false if the name lookup failed. Eg SetVariable("tessedit_char_blacklist", "xyz"); to ignore x, y and z. Or SetVariable("classify_bln_numeric_mode", "1"); to set numeric-only mode. SetVariable may be used before Init, but settings will revert to defaults on End(). TODO(rays) Add a command-line option to dump the parameters to stdout and add a pointer to it in the FAQ

Note: Must be called after Init(). Only works for non-init variables (init variables should be passed to Init()).

char * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::TesseractRect ( const unsigned char *  imagedata,
int  bytes_per_pixel,
int  bytes_per_line,
int  left,
int  top,
int  width,
int  height 
)

Recognize a rectangle from an image and return the result as a string. May be called many times for a single Init. Currently has no error checking. Greyscale of 8 and color of 24 or 32 bits per pixel may be given. Palette color images will not work properly and must be converted to 24 bit. Binary images of 1 bit per pixel may also be given but they must be byte packed with the MSB of the first byte being the first pixel, and a 1 represents WHITE. For binary images set bytes_per_pixel=0. The recognized text is returned as a char* which is coded as UTF8 and must be freed with the delete [] operator.

Note that TesseractRect is the simplified convenience interface. For advanced uses, use SetImage, (optionally) SetRectangle, Recognize, and one or more of the Get*Text functions below.

int tesseract::TessBaseAPI::TextLength ( int *  blob_count  )  [protected]

Return the length of the output text string, as UTF8, assuming one newline per line and one per block, with a terminator, and assuming a single character reject marker for each rejected character. Also return the number of recognized blobs in blob_count.

void tesseract::TessBaseAPI::Threshold ( Pix **  pix  )  [protected, virtual]

Run the thresholder to make the thresholded image. If pix is not NULL, the source is thresholded to pix instead of the internal IMAGE.

const char * tesseract::TessBaseAPI::Version (  )  [static]

Returns the version identifier as a static string. Do not delete.
