How about the Scene Text Recognition library? about opencv4nodejs HOT 7 CLOSED

I added some stuff from the contrib text module and also two basic usage examples for character recognition and word recognition from the trained BeamSearchDecoder CNN model. The features will be available when I published v2.14.

Good luck playing around with it, let me know if this was useful for your project =)

New version is now published.

Are you talking about https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d8/df2/group__text__recognize.html?

I can add the bindings, which are independent of tesseract or are you asking for the OCRTesseract detector specifically?

from opencv4nodejs.

Yes, that was exactly what I was talking about :)

To be honest, I am not sure that I understand the difference (I am fairly new to OpenCV) - but I need to detect and decode hex numbers that are printed on boxes?

I tried other libs like: https://github.com/desmondmorris/node-tesseract but it doesn't perform very well because of its language dependencies (I think). So I would like to do it all in OpenCV instead (also because the application needs OpenCV anyway).

I am not familar with the text recognition module of OpenCV either, but It seems there is an HMM classifier and a tesseract one.

I can implement the bindings to the HMM one, not sure if this one will give you better results than node-tesseract, but you can try it out.

Implementing the tesseract classifier would mean adding the dependency of a third party lib (tesseract) to the package, which I rather would not do.

I don't know much about bindings, but i know they use tesseract i did use that software weeks ago, it was kind of trikky to make all work.. Maybe it give you an idea..

@carlosen14 Thanks. That could be useful as well.

@justadudewhohacks Would be great! Thanks 👍 :)
