# System Patterns: HOCR Processing Tool

## 1. High-Level Architecture

*   **Modular Pipeline:** The system appears structured as a pipeline with distinct modules for different stages of OCR processing. Key modules suggested by filenames include:
    *   `preprocessing.py`: Handles initial image adjustments.
    *   `image_segmentation.py`: Identifies regions of interest (text blocks).
    *   `ocr_processing.py`: Manages the core OCR engine interaction.
    *   `language_detection.py`: Determines the language of the text.
    *   `pdf_ocr.py`: Specific handling for PDF inputs.
    *   `structured_ocr.py`: Likely involved in formatting the output.
*   **Configuration Driven:** `config.py` suggests a centralized configuration management approach, allowing pipeline behavior to be customized.
*   **Entry Point / Orchestration:** `app.py` likely serves as the main entry point or orchestrator, possibly for a web UI or API, coordinating the pipeline execution based on user input and configuration. `process_file.py` might be an alternative entry point or a core processing function called by `app.py`.
*   **UI Layer:** The `ui/` directory (`ui/layout.py`, `ui/ui_components.py`) indicates a dedicated user interface layer, possibly built with Streamlit or Flask (as suggested in `projectbrief.md`).
*   **Utility Functions:** The `utils/` directory (`utils/image_utils.py`, `utils/text_utils.py`, etc.) points to a pattern of encapsulating reusable helper functions.
*   **Error Handling:** `error_handler.py` suggests a dedicated mechanism for managing and reporting errors during processing.

## 2. Key Design Patterns (Inferred)

*   **Pipeline Pattern:** The core processing flow seems to follow a pipeline pattern, where data (image/document) passes through sequential processing stages.
*   **Configuration Management:** Centralized configuration (`config.py`) allows for decoupling settings from code.
*   **Separation of Concerns:** Different functionalities (UI, core processing, utilities, configuration) appear to be separated into distinct modules/files.
*   **Utility/Helper Modules:** Common, reusable functions are grouped into utility modules.

## 4. Critical Implementation Paths

*   **Image Input -> Preprocessing -> Segmentation -> OCR -> Structured Output:** The main flow for image files.
*   **PDF Input -> PDF Extraction -> Image Conversion (per page) -> [Main Flow] -> Aggregated Output:** The likely path for PDF documents.
*   **Configuration Loading -> Pipeline Execution:** How settings influence the process.
