bib-tagger

A project for parsing race photos and identifying bib numbers.

bib-tagger will read in a directory of photos and attempt to identify each visible bib number.

pipeline

• face detection, body detection
• bib detection
• SWT on bib
• OCR on SWT results

Dependencies

Probably could stand to clean these up a bit, do we need all of these? *Scipy *Numpy *pytesseract **tesseract-ocr *Pillow

Usage

Main.py will run through all of the file in a directory labeled 'photos'. modify tests\test_bibtagger.py to test the entire pipeline on a single file.
