Image-to-Text-using-OpenCV-Hackathon

Building a document scanner with OpenCV and extract the text from image after preprocessing the image Python-tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python. That is, it will recognize and "read" the text embedded in images

preprocessing-tesseract-python

In this project I preprocess the image for better text extraction.

I had used two preprocessing method. This switch is optional and it accept either of two values: thresh (threshold) or blur .

Installation

• pip install pillow
• pip install pytesseract

Run the project

• python ocr.py --image (your-image-name)
• python ocr.py --image example_03.jpg

Building a document scanner with OpenCV can be accomplished in just three simple steps:

Step 1: Detect edges.

Step 2: Use the edges in the image to find the contour (outline) representing the piece of paper being scanned.

Step 3: Apply a perspective transform to obtain the top-down view of the document.

Installation

• pip install pillow
• pip install pytesseract
• pip install --upgrade imutils
• pip install opencv-python

Run the project

• `python scan.py
