Tesseract


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I need help for a small project to recover the text of an image. So I chose the Tesseract OCR .
I did a lot of research on forums. I probably forgot something...

For example, this code doesn't work correctly :

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <Tesseract.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>
Opt("WinTextMatchMode", -2)
$img = @tempdir & "\img.png"
InetGet ("http://nsa26.casimages.com/img/2011/06/24//110624070800223936.png", $img)
Global $hGUI, $hImage, $hGraphic
$hGUI = GuiCreate("imgtest", 145, 30, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
GuiSetState()
_GDIPlus_StartUp()
$hImage   = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($img)
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage, 0, 0)
Sleep(500)
$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 2, 0, 0, 5, 5, 0)
GuiDelete($hGUI)
MsgBox(0,"",$text)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()
FileDelete($img)
[/code]

I have no errors but nothing is displayed in the MsgBox .

I know that the subject has been done and redone ... So sorry, but I have the feeling of being stuck.

Thanks for your help (and sorry for my english)

First off, how do you know you have no errors, you do absolutely no error checking in your script? Check @error after every function call, use consolewrite to display the value of every variable after the functions return. Then you'll know where it's failing.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

How have you tested ?  Please show your updated code.

Ok Jos and thank you too.

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <Tesseract.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

Opt("WinTextMatchMode", -2)

;$img = @tempdir & "\img.png"
$img = "img.tif"
;InetGet ("http://nsa26.casimages.com/img/2011/06/24//110624070800223936.png", $img)
;InetGet ("img.tif", $img)

Global $hGUI, $hImage, $hGraphic
$hGUI = GuiCreate("imgtest", 128, 19, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
GuiSetState()

_GDIPlus_StartUp()
$hImage   = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($img)
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage, 0, 0)
Sleep(500)

ConsoleWrite($hImage & @CRLF & $hGraphic & @CRLF)

$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 3, 0, 0, 5, 5, 0)
;$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 2, 0, 0, 256, 38, 0)
;$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 2, 0, 0, 128, 19, 0)

ConsoleWrite("hello" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)
Sleep(5000)

GuiDelete($hGUI)
MsgBox(0,"",$text)

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()
;FileDelete($img)

I have the image in the same folder as the script.

I add this code to see the value of $text :

ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)
Sleep(5000)

And i execute the code in SciTE with the console.

Thought you added some checks to ensure the performed functions were successful?
Something like this right after the performed UDF or Function:

ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

I see you are showing some variables now but you haven't shared whether they are correct or not.

You should do something like this instead of a single error check.

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <Tesseract.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

Opt("WinTextMatchMode", -2)

;$img = @tempdir & "\img.png"
$img = "img.tif"
;InetGet ("http://nsa26.casimages.com/img/2011/06/24//110624070800223936.png", $img)
;InetGet ("img.tif", $img)

Global $hGUI, $hImage, $hGraphic
$hGUI = GuiCreate("imgtest", 128, 19, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
GuiSetState()

_GDIPlus_StartUp()
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$hImage   = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($img)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage, 0, 0)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
Sleep(500)

ConsoleWrite($hImage & @CRLF & $hGraphic & @CRLF)

$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 3, 0, 0, 5, 5, 0)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $text = ' & $text & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
;$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 2, 0, 0, 256, 38, 0)
;$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 2, 0, 0, 128, 19, 0)

ConsoleWrite("hello" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)
Sleep(5000)

GuiDelete($hGUI)
MsgBox(0,"",$text)

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()
;FileDelete($img)

Once you see where you're getting an error, you'll start to understand where you need to fix your script.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Ok BreawManNH. I try it : 

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <Tesseract.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

Opt("WinTextMatchMode", -2)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

;$img = @tempdir & "\img.png"
$img = "img.tif"
;InetGet ("http://nsa26.casimages.com/img/2011/06/24//110624070800223936.png", $img)
;InetGet ("img.tif", $img)

Global $hGUI, $hImage, $hGraphic
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$hGUI = GuiCreate("imgtest", 128, 19, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
GuiSetState()
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

_GDIPlus_StartUp()
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$hImage   = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($img)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage, 0, 0)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
Sleep(500)

$text = _TesseractWinCapture("imgtest", "", 0, "", 1, 3, 0, 0, 5, 5, 0)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

ConsoleWrite("hello" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)
;Sleep(5000)

GuiDelete($hGUI)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
MsgBox(0,"",$text)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') >Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
;FileDelete($img)

And the result in the console : 

@@ Debug(20) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(28) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(30) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(32) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(35) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(37) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(39) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(41) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(45) >Error code: 0
hello

@@ Debug(52) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(54) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(57) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(59) >Error code: 0
@@ Debug(61) >Error code: 0

No luck for me

You don't have to reply on this. The example in first post works perfectly for me without any changes at all. Of course I have changed the half hard-coded paths for Tesseract.exe in Tesseract.au3 to the proper paths on Win 7.

LarsJ your answer was not necessary ... They helped me a lot, unlike you. It's the objective of this forum.

BrewManNH and Jos thank you for your help, I solved my problem. For me, I've changed $tesseract_temp_path in Tesseract.au3 for the image (and not for the Tesseract.exe).

Resolved
