lstmf files contain the image information, ground truth text (and box file information?).

private:
STRING imagefilename_; // File to read image from.
int32_t page_number_; // Page number if multi-page tif or -1.
GenericVector<char> image_data_; // PNG/PNM file data.
STRING language_; // Language code for image.
STRING transcription_; // UTF-8 ground truth of image.
GenericVector<TBOX> boxes_; // If non-empty boxes of the image.
GenericVector<STRING> box_texts_; // String for text in each box.
bool vertical_text_; // Image has been rotated from vertical.

It will be useful to have a utility (similar to combine_tessdata used for traineddata files) which can be used to extract all the components of lstmf files.

This will be useful for verifying the correctness of the files as well as remove the necessity to save original input files (tif/groundtruth/box).

Which image format would you prefer? PNG? TIFF?

I think that the box file information is implicitly there, because box files for LSTM only need line texts and the bounding box for each line (so you won't get character boxes which might have existed in the initial box files).

lstmf files can be made from multi-page tifs also, so I would say tif as the output format.

Related request, I can open another issue, if you prefer...

Enhance combine_tessdata to also output info from the lstm files - it will be useful to know the network spec and whether the lstm model is compressed or not (integer vs float). This could then be interrogated for any start models given for training so that appropriate error can be reported.

Ray had sent info via email on tessdata_fast models - see https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Data-Files-in-tessdata_fast#version-string--40000alpha--network-specification-for-tessdata_fast and #1404 (comment)

The network configuration is stored in the lstm data in the traineddata.
With a small change to combine_tessdata, I produced the attached.

I would love to work on creating a new utility or expanding combine_tessdata if anyone hasn't taken this up.

@stweil Any progress on this. Even a single line png version without box information will be useful. I am interested specially in checking how the RTL text is being stored in it.

It's less a technical problem but a question where to add it in a user friendly way. Technically the unpack feature would fit well into the tesseract executable because the relevant code parts are already there. But how can we extend the command line syntax for that program (which is already a mess today)? One possibility would be a syntax similar to the one used by git and others:

tesseract [<command>] ...

So tesseract can be followed by a command (for example recognize, lstmf info or lstmf unpack). That command is optional for backward compatibility.

@AyushP123, have you already started working on a utility?

I came across https://github.com/OpenArabic/OCR_GS_Data (used for Kraken Arabic models) and wanted to test training with it. But looks like the wordstrbox is not the right format, hence wanted to check. (file created using python script and using tesseract are in different order).

That looks interesting. https://github.com/OpenITI/ seems to include OCR_GS_Data and could be used to improve the Arabic model (or create a new one) for Tesseract.

A comparison of Tesseract with the published results from Kraken would also be interesting.

My first trial shows Tesseract with worse results compared to Kraken. However, the accuracy is getting pulled down by a subset of lines that are being recognized as multiple lines.

Shreeshrii commented Nov 30, 2019

In their groundtruth files they have used 0-9 digits for the Arabic script digits. I substituted those so that the image and text would match. examples:

https://github.com/OpenArabic/OCR_GS_Data/blob/master/ara/book_IbnFaqihHamadhani.Buldan/7_final_a/a_000120.gt.txt

I haven't looked at Arabic extended to see what characters are there.

These results are based on using the finetuned traineddata on the training set (similar to what they have done in their research). So, it could be overfitted. I haven't tried it with other 'unseen' books for testing yet.

It is possible that my substitution also changed some 0-9 digits that were 0-9 in the images.

grep into Accuracy reports per image shows that Arabic extended is referring to digits in Arabic script. While they are not getting detected correctly with default psm, they are recognized with --psm 13.

A first implementation is available in my unpack branch. It also introduces a new command line syntax. Usage:

tesseract unpack [LSTMF_FILE ...]

This writes two files (unpacked.gt.txt and unpacked.png, overwritten for each lstmf file, so currently not very useful) and shows the transcription and the first box information for each lstmf file.

Only simple lstmf files are currently handled. Do you have a more complex example (multi page tiff)?

Attached is a zip file with a sample of lstmf files in different languages, including multi-page tiff. Do you also need the corresponding images and transcription?

The latest test code should fix the build problem with C++ before C++17 and adds support for lstmf files with more than one text line. It handles all files in the sample, but I'm not sure that the result is as expected. The results are now written to individual files.

@stweil Thank you for adding this functionality. It will be a very useful feature.

I tested with a multi-page tiff generated by text2image for langdata/eng/eng.training_text. tesseract unpack creates single lines images and their groundtruth transcription.

While all lines in .tif are converted to .png line images, the order of images does not match the order of text lines in original training_text, tif and box. eg. line 50 in text file was image number 71.

The line image numbering is continuous for the lstmf file, there is no indication of page numbering of original tif.

line level box files are not generated.

engeval.zip - Multipage tif

I tested for Devanagari script, using both text2image generated box files and also using the wordstrbox files with a single text line as input. In both cases the output .png and .gt.txt were created correctly.

hineval.zip - text2image

saneval.zip - wordstrbox

For RTL, I tested with Arabic text. While the generated png and original tif match, the training text and generated gt.txt files do not match. I have not tested with Hebrew text yet.

The reversal for RTL languages is probably to be expected since order of text is reversed in the box files.
I will test further regarding the reversal in case of digits, punctuation etc.

That's correct. Tesseract shuffles the original data, see https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/src/ccmain/linerec.cpp#L69. As it uses a pseudo random sequence which is derived from the document name, it might be possible to reverse that shuffling.

The internal data has character level boxes. Writing that data to box files must still be implemented.

Well, thinking further about it, reversed text is ok if generating box files via tesseract unpack. But if generating ground truth, then text should be in same order as original text/ recognized text.

@stweil I am using this feature to convert lstmf files from text2image generated box and multi page tiffs to single line png images and gt.txt files that can be used with tesstrain.

Please consider commiting this to master branch.

@stweil Any plans to merge your changes?
I am not able to use the commits from your repo because of merge conflicts.

I rebased https://github.com/stweil/tesseract/tree/unpack now, so it should be possible to use it again.

The branch not only adds the unpack command but also the infocommand. Before that gets merged, I'd like to improve the code further.

Thanks, @stweil.

I will add another unpack feature request since you are looking to improve this further.

While creating the starter traineddata (proto model) tesseract outputs a readable version of the recoder (created by combine_lang_model command, I think). Files are named as [MODEL_NAME].charset_size=NNN.txt.

The current info produced from the traineddata file using combine_tessdata does not create this readable format. It will be good to have an option to do so.

EDIT: In some cases I have seen two entries for NULL in these files and I wonder if that is correct.

No, it won't be included in 5.0.0, but maybe in some later version (5.1.0?).
