QUESTION

How to perform OCR on a subset of the camera frame using Google TextRecognizer or Tesseract

Asked 2019-Aug-21 at 17:04

Starting with this sample project [ https://github.com/googlesamples/android-vision/tree/master/visionSamples/ocr-reader ], I have been able to implement filtering in the OcrDetectorProcessor.receiveDetections() method.

This works, but com.google.android.gms.vision.text.TextRecognizer appears to search the the entire screen for characters.

I presume that the receiveDetections() method could be called more frequently if a smaller portion of the screen were being scanned for characters instead of the entire screen.

Is it possible to specify a smaller portion of the screen to be scanned? It should be straight-forward to direct the user, through a change to the graphic overly, to position their camera so that this smaller portion of the screen contained the target text, but I'm unsure as to how to tell the processor to use just a small portion of the frame when doing it's OCR processing.

What would need to be altered to specify that the OCR should operate on a subset of the frame?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I tried to subclass TextRecognizer, but it's marked final, and the source appears to be closed.

So I'm expanding the question to how the functionality of the ocr-reader sample could be replicated using Tesseract.

I found this link, but haven't explored converting the concepts there into camera frames as opposed to a single image file.

I had a similar issue and resolved it by using Tesseract and a simple cropping library called "Android Image Cropper" - Link here .

Basically I just crop the image before passing it for processing. Here is a small sample of my code:

QUESTION

Exiting from OCR activity on specific text detection

Asked 2018-Dec-11 at 19:30

In this sample Android OCR application, that uses com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision, there is a OcrDetectorProcessor.receiveDetections() method which gets repeatedly called. In that method, while the user points the camera at things in the environment, we have access to whatever text is detected.

If the user presses the back button, the process ends, but I would like to have the process end when a certain condition occurs within the receiveDetections() method.

I tried calling mParentActivity.onBackPressed(), but that threw an exception from super.onBackPressed():

OpenCameraSource: Exception thrown from receiver. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Must be called from main thread of fragment host

So although the exception is caught and the app continues to run, calling onBackPressed() is not the right approach. What is the right way to programatically back-out of receiveDetections()?

Generally what you need to do is to save a reference to the OcrDetectorProcessor, then write a data retrieval method and call it from OcrCaptureActivity.

So make this change to your 'onCreate()':
