This is a program with the help of which you can detect text on a image or a live video stream from your webcam.
I have used the pre trained EAST model that detects the texts and return the bounding coordinates of the text in that particular image or a video frame. You can download the pre trained model from here
You should have the following packages installed-
- OpenCV- pip install OpenCv
- Imutils- pip install imutils
- numpy- pip install numpy
If you have installed the above packages then you are good to execute the code.
