Install the latest version of the PaddleOCR inference package from PyPI:

python -m pip install paddleocr

Model Usage

You can quickly experience the functionality with a single command:

paddleocr text_detection \
    --model_name PP-OCRv4_server_det \
    -i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/681c1ecd9539bdde5ae1733c/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png

You can also integrate the model inference of the text detection module into your project. Before running the following code, please download the sample image to your local machine.

from paddleocr import TextDetection
model = TextDetection(model_name="PP-OCRv4_server_det")
output = model.predict(input="3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png", batch_size=1)
for res in output:
    res.print()
    res.save_to_img(save_path="./output/")
    res.save_to_json(save_path="./output/res.json")

After running, the obtained result is as follows:

{'res': {'input_path': '/root/.paddlex/predict_input/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png', 'page_index': None, 'dt_polys': array([[[ 627, 1432],
        ...,
        [ 627, 1449]],

       ...,

       [[ 354,  106],
        ...,
        [ 354,  127]]], dtype=int16), 'dt_scores': [0.9421815230284514, 0.8528662776681952, ..., 0.8209321007152185]}}

Pipeline Usage

The ability of a single model is limited. But the pipeline consists of several models can provide more capacity to resolve difficult problems in real-world scenarios.

PP-OCRv4

The general OCR pipeline is used to solve text recognition tasks by extracting text information from images and outputting it in text form. And there are 5 modules in the pipeline:

• Document Image Orientation Classification Module (Optional)
• Text Image Unwarping Module (Optional)
• Text Line Orientation Classification Module (Optional)
• Text Detection Module
• Text Recognition Module

Run a single command to quickly experience the OCR pipeline:

paddleocr ocr -i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/681c1ecd9539bdde5ae1733c/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png \
    --text_detection_model_name PP-OCRv4_server_det \
    --text_recognition_model_name PP-OCRv4_server_rec \
    --use_doc_orientation_classify False \
    --use_doc_unwarping False \
    --use_textline_orientation False \
    --save_path ./output \
    --device gpu:0 

Results are printed to the terminal:

If save_path is specified, the visualization results will be saved under save_path. The visualization output is shown below:

The command-line method is for quick experience. For project integration, also only a few codes are needed as well:

from paddleocr import PaddleOCR  

ocr = PaddleOCR(
    text_detection_model_name="PP-OCRv4_server_det",
    text_recognition_model_name="PP-OCRv4_server_rec",
    use_doc_orientation_classify=False, # Disables document orientation classification model via this parameter
    use_doc_unwarping=False, # Disables text image rectification model via this parameter
    use_textline_orientation=False, # Disables text line orientation classification model via this parameter
)
result = ocr.predict("./general_ocr.png")  
for res in result:  
    res.print()  
    res.save_to_img("output")  
    res.save_to_json("output")
