Description

Example C++ code that shows how to use Tesseract or DarkHelp/Darknet/YOLO to read text from images.

The following is a short youtube video showing how this works:

Building

First, run this command to install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libopencv-dev libtesseract-dev tesseract-ocr

Once you install Darknet and DarkHelp, this is how you build the source code in this repo:

cd
mkdir src
cd src
git clone https://github.com/stephanecharette/tesseract_and_yolo.git
cd tesseract_and_yolo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j4
