CaptchaOCR-API

The backend OCR CNN to recognize CaptchaV1 characters. Built with PyTorch. Uses Captcha Dataset.

Roadmap

Backend:

• Build/Tune/Train NN
• (?) Setup Captcha generation for frontend samples: PHP Captcha
• Build backend communication with Django Framework
• Deploy through a Docker container

Frontend:

• Upload/generate Captcha images

Installation

To install for development:

1. Make sure python is installed. python3 --version

2. Create a python virtual environment. python3 -m venv NNEnvironment

3. Activate the CNN virtual environment.

   a. For macOS and Linux: source ./NNEnvironment/bin/activate

   b. For Windows: .\NNEnvironment\Scripts\activate.bat

4. Install the dependencies for NNEnvironment. pip install -r ./requirements.txt

Run

Instructions to run the server will come soon.

1. Run the virtual environment.

   a. For macOS and Linux: source ./NNEnvironment/bin/activate

   b. For Windows: .\NNEnvironment\Scripts\activate.bat

Deploy

Instructions for Docker deployment coming soon.
