如何在C#项目中实现和执行OCR？

Question

我一直在寻找一段时间以及所有我见过的OCR库请求.我想知道如何实现最纯净,易于安装和使用OCR库以及安装到C#项目的详细信息.

如果可行,我只想像通常的dll参考一样实现它...

例:

using org.pdfbox.pdmodel;
using org.pdfbox.util;

还有一个小的OCR代码示例会很好,例如:

public string OCRFromBitmap(Bitmap Bmp)
{
    Bmp.Save(temppath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);
    string OcrResult = Analyze(temppath);
    File.Delete(temppath);
    return OcrResult;
}

所以请考虑我对OCR项目并不熟悉,并给我一个答案,比如和假人交谈.

编辑: 我猜人们误解了我的要求.我想知道如何将这些开源OCR库实现到C#项目以及如何使用它们.作为dup给出的链接没有给出我要求的答案.

Answer 1

如果有人在研究这个问题,我一直在尝试不同的选择,以下方法会产生非常好的结果.以下是获取工作示例的步骤:

1. 为您的项目添加.NET Wrapper for tesseract.它可以通过NuGet包Install-Package Tesseract(https://github.com/charlesw/tesseract)添加.
2. 转到官方Tesseract项目的下载部分(https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ 编辑: 它现在位于:https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata).
3. 下载首选语言数据,例如:tesseract-ocr-3.02.eng.tar.gz English language data for Tesseract 3.02.
4. tessdata在项目中创建目录并将语言数据文件放入其中.
5. 转到Properties新添加的文件并将其设置为在构建时复制.
6. 添加引用System.Drawing.
7. 从.NET Wrapper存储库中,在Samples目录中将示例phototest.tif文件复制到项目目录中,并将其设置为在构建时复制.
8. 在项目中创建以下两个文件(只是为了开始):

Program.cs中

using System;
using Tesseract;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var testImagePath = "./phototest.tif";
            if (args.Length > 0)
            {
                testImagePath = args[0];
            }

            try
            {
                var logger = new FormattedConsoleLogger();
                var resultPrinter = new ResultPrinter(logger);
                using (var engine = new TesseractEngine(@"./tessdata", "eng", EngineMode.Default))
                {
                    using (var img = Pix.LoadFromFile(testImagePath))
                    {
                        using (logger.Begin("Process image"))
                        {

                            using (var page = engine.Process(img))
                            {

                                logger.Log("Mean confidence: {0}", page.GetMeanConfidence());

                                using (var iter = page.GetIterator())

Answer 3

我正在使用带有TessNet2的tesseract OCR引擎(一个C#包装器 - http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/tessnet2/).

一些基本代码:

using tessnet2;

...

Bitmap image = new Bitmap(@"u:\user files\bwalker\2849257.tif");
            tessnet2.Tesseract ocr = new tessnet2.Tesseract();
            ocr.SetVariable("tessedit_char_whitelist", "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.,$-/#&=()\"':?"); // Accepted characters
            ocr.Init(@"C:\Users\bwalker\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\tessnetWinForms\tessnetWinForms\bin\Release\", "eng", false); // Directory of your tessdata folder
            List<tessnet2.Word> result = ocr.DoOCR(image, System.Drawing.Rectangle.Empty);
            string Results = "";
            foreach (tessnet2.Word word in result)
            {
                Results += word.Confidence + ", " + word.Text + ", " + word.Left + ", " + word.Top + ", " + word.Bottom + ", " + word.Right + "\n";
            }
