Class TesseractOCRConfig

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

    public class TesseractOCRConfig
    extends Object
    implements Serializable
    Configuration for TesseractOCRParser. This class is not thread safe and must be synchronized externally.

    This class will remember all set* field forever, and on cloneAndUpdate(TesseractOCRConfig), it will update all the fields that have been set on the "update" config. So, for example, if you want to change language to "fra" from "eng" and then on another parse, you want to change depth to 5 on the same update object, but you expect the language to revert to "eng", you'll be wrong. Create a new update config for each parse unless you're only changing the same field(s) with every parse.

      • getLangs

        public static void getLangs​(String language,
                                    Set<String> validLangs,
                                    Set<String> invalidLangs)
        This takes a language string, parses it and then bins individual langs into valid or invalid based on regexes against the language codes
        Parameters:
        language -
        validLangs -
        invalidLangs -
      • setLanguage

        public void setLanguage​(String languageString)
        Set tesseract language dictionary to be used. Default is "eng". languages are either:
        1. Nominally an ISO-639-2 code but compound codes are allowed separated by underscore: e.g., chi_tra_vert, aze_cyrl
        2. A file path in the script directory. The name starts with upper-case letter. Some of them have underscores and other upper-case letters: e.g., script/Arabic, script/HanS_vert, script/Japanese_vert, script/Canadian_Aboriginal
        Multiple languages may be specified, separated by plus characters. e.g. "chi_tra+chi_sim+script/Arabic"
      • setPageSegMode

        public void setPageSegMode​(String pageSegMode)
        Set tesseract page segmentation mode. Default is 1 = Automatic page segmentation with OSD (Orientation and Script Detection)
      • setPageSeparator

        public void setPageSeparator​(String pageSeparator)
        The page separator to use in plain text output. This corresponds to Tesseract's page_separator config option. The default here is the empty string (i.e. no page separators). Note that this is also the default in Tesseract 3.x, but in Tesseract 4.0 the default is to use the form feed control character. We are overriding Tesseract 4.0's default here.
        Parameters:
        pageSeparator -
      • setTrustedPageSeparator

        public void setTrustedPageSeparator​(String pageSeparator)
        Same as setPageSeparator(String) but does not perform any checks on the string.
        Parameters:
        pageSeparator -
      • isPreserveInterwordSpacing

      • setPreserveInterwordSpacing

        public void setPreserveInterwordSpacing​(boolean preserveInterwordSpacing)
        Whether or not to maintain interword spacing. Default is false.
        Parameters:

      • setMaxFileSizeToOcr

        public void setMaxFileSizeToOcr​(long maxFileSizeToOcr)
        Set maximum file size to submit file to ocr. Default is Integer.MAX_VALUE.
      • setTimeoutSeconds

        public void setTimeoutSeconds​(int timeoutSeconds)
        Set maximum time (seconds) to wait for the ocring process to terminate. Default value is 120s.
