使用的是python的pytesser模块,原先想做的是图片中文识别,搞了一段时间了,在中文的识别上还是有很多问题,这里做记录分享。 pytesser,OCR in Python using the Tesseract engine from Google。是谷歌OCR开源项目的一个模块,可将图片中的文字转换成文本(主要是英文)。 1.pytesser安装 使用设备:win8 64位 PyTesser使用Tesseract OCR引擎,将图像转换到可接受的格式,然后执行tesseract提取出文本信息。使用PyTesser ,你无须安装Tesseract OCR引擎,但必须要先安装PIL模块(Python Image Library,python的图形库)

print text 3.pytesser使用 在代码中加载pytesser模块,简单的测试代码如下:
from pytesser import *
im = Image.open('fonts_test.png')
text = image_to_string(im)
print "Using image_to_string(): "
print text
text = image_file_to_string('fonts_test.png', graceful_errors=True)
print "Using image_file_to_string():"
print text
识别结果如下:基本能将英文字符提取出来,但对一些复杂点的图片,比如说我尝试对一些英文论文图片进行识别,但结果实在不理想。
由于在中文识别方面还有很多问题,以后再进一步研究分享。
