/OCR

Optical character recognition software (EPITA S3)

Primary LanguageC

OCR

Optical character recognition software written in C.

Requirements

  • gcc
  • GTK3
  • SDL2
  • SDL2_image

If you plan to train the network you will also need:

  • python
  • xelatex
  • pdftoppm

Build

make

Usage

./ocr

Training

  1. Generate the custom dataset used to train the neural network 
    cd dataset
# This can take a while
./generate_dataset.sh
  2. (optional) Adjust training parameters in src/ocr_train.c
  3. Use the --train option when launching the OCR 
    ./ocr --train

This will output the neural network in output/ocr_network_eX after each epoch.

You can save the pre-computed dataset to avoid wasting time before each training (see details about this in src/ocr_train.c).
