document image degradation

Overview

ocrodeg

The ocrodeg package is a small Python library implementing document image degradation for data augmentation for handwriting recognition and OCR applications.

The following illustrates the kinds of degradations available from ocrodeg.

%pylab inline

rc("image", cmap="gray", interpolation="bicubic")
figsize(10, 10)
import scipy.ndimage as ndi
import ocrodeg

image = imread("testdata/W1P0.png")
imshow(image)
<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7fabcc7ab390>

PAGE ROTATION

This is just for illustration; for large page rotations, you can just use ndimage.

for i, angle in enumerate([0, 90, 180, 270]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ndi.rotate(image, angle))

RANDOM GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS

random_transform generates random transformation parameters that work reasonably well for document image degradation. You can override the ranges used by each of these parameters by keyword arguments.

ocrodeg.random_transform()
{'angle': -0.016783842893063807,
 'aniso': 0.805280370671964,
 'scale': 0.9709145529604223,
 'translation': (0.014319657859164045, 0.03676897986267606)}

Here are four samples generated by random transforms.

for i in xrange(4):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, **ocrodeg.random_transform()))

png

You can use transform_image directly with the different parameters to get a feel for the ranges and effects of these parameters.

for i, angle in enumerate([-2, -1, 0, 1]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, angle=angle*pi/180))

png

for i, angle in enumerate([-2, -1, 0, 1]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, angle=angle*pi/180)[1000:1500, 750:1250])

png

for i, aniso in enumerate([0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, aniso=aniso))

png

for i, aniso in enumerate([0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, aniso=aniso)[1000:1500, 750:1250])

png

for i, scale in enumerate([0.5, 0.9, 1.0, 2.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, scale=scale))

png

for i, scale in enumerate([0.5, 0.9, 1.0, 2.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    h, w = image.shape
    imshow(ocrodeg.transform_image(image, scale=scale)[h//2-200:h//2+200, w//3-200:w//3+200])

png

RANDOM DISTORTIONS

Pages often also have a small degree of warping. This can be modeled by random distortions. Very small and noisy random distortions also model ink spread, while large 1D random distortions model paper curl.

for i, sigma in enumerate([1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 20.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    noise = ocrodeg.bounded_gaussian_noise(image.shape, sigma, 5.0)
    distorted = ocrodeg.distort_with_noise(image, noise)
    h, w = image.shape
    imshow(distorted[h//2-200:h//2+200, w//3-200:w//3+200])

png

RULED SURFACE DISTORTIONS

for i, mag in enumerate([5.0, 20.0, 100.0, 200.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    noise = ocrodeg.noise_distort1d(image.shape, magnitude=mag)
    distorted = ocrodeg.distort_with_noise(image, noise)
    h, w = image.shape
    imshow(distorted[:1500])

png

BLUR, THRESHOLDING, NOISE

There are a range of utilities for modeling imaging artifacts: blurring, noise, inkspread.

patch = image[1900:2156, 1000:1256]
imshow(patch)
<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7fabc88c7e10>

png

for i, s in enumerate([0, 1, 2, 4]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    blurred = ndi.gaussian_filter(patch, s)
    imshow(blurred)

png

for i, s in enumerate([0, 1, 2, 4]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    blurred = ndi.gaussian_filter(patch, s)
    thresholded = 1.0*(blurred>0.5)
    imshow(thresholded)

png

reload(ocrodeg)
for i, s in enumerate([0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    blurred = ocrodeg.binary_blur(patch, s)
    imshow(blurred)

png

for i, s in enumerate([0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    blurred = ocrodeg.binary_blur(patch, 2.0, noise=s)
    imshow(blurred)

png

MULTISCALE NOISE

reload(ocrodeg)
for i in range(4):
    noisy = ocrodeg.make_multiscale_noise_uniform((512, 512))
    subplot(2, 2, i+1); imshow(noisy, vmin=0, vmax=1)

png

RANDOM BLOBS

for i, s in enumerate([2, 5, 10, 20]):
    subplot(2, 2, i+1)
    imshow(ocrodeg.random_blobs(patch.shape, 3e-4, s))

png

reload(ocrodeg)
blotched = ocrodeg.random_blotches(patch, 3e-4, 1e-4)
#blotched = minimum(maximum(patch, ocrodeg.random_blobs(patch.shape, 30, 10)), 1-ocrodeg.random_blobs(patch.shape, 15, 8))
subplot(121); imshow(patch); subplot(122); imshow(blotched)
<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7fabc8a35490>

png

FIBROUS NOISE

imshow(ocrodeg.make_fibrous_image((256, 256), 700, 300, 0.01))
