This project is an OCR (tesseract) web interface to upload images. The idea of this project is to study technologies like Python, Django, Tesseract(OCR), Continuous Integration, Celery, etc...
After activate your Python Virtual Environment (venv) run the below command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver
So you can access in the local URL: localhost:8000
Inside the requirements.txt there are a package called pytesseract. It´s the wrapper to communicate with the Tesseract library (C/C++ code). So, the next step is to install the Tesseract itself.
For this, please follow the below instructions for your SO:
If an additional language is required, is necessary to download it from here and move it to $TESSERACT_PATH/tessdata/
- TBD
- Django
- Pillow
- Bootstrap
- JQuery
- Tesseract (pytesseract)
- Celery
- Create an initial project
- Add the continuous integration build and test (Circleci)
- Create the upload media system: models, forms, templates, media url, etc...
- Call the OCR to process the image
- Add image link in the home page. Click the image open a modal to check the image
- Add support to different languages. OCR have a parameter to select the language of the text. User to inform this while uploading the image.
- Create a model to store and an interface to return the text generated by the OCR.
- Pagination in the first page
- Model to handle a copy of the original image. This copy that will be used to run the OCR. The idea is to in the future use this copy to apply some image treatments (all triggered by interface).
- Basic image treatment like: cut, rotate, threshold, 'grow'
- After the core is working, enhance the BE with Celery.
