CRAFT: Character-Region Awareness For Text detection

Downloads PyPI version Conda version CI

Packaged, Pytorch-based, easy to use, cross-platform version of the CRAFT text detector | Paper |

Overview

PyTorch implementation for CRAFT text detector that effectively detect text area by exploring each character region and affinity between characters. The bounding box of texts are obtained by simply finding minimum bounding rectangles on binary map after thresholding character region and affinity scores.

teaser

Getting started

Installation

  • Install using conda for Linux, Mac and Windows (preferred):
conda install -c fcakyon craft-text-detector
  • Install using pip for Linux and Mac:
pip install craft-text-detector

Basic Usage

# import Craft class
from craft_text_detector import Craft

# set image path and export folder directory
image_path = 'figures/idcard.png'
output_dir = 'outputs/'

# create a craft instance
craft = Craft(output_dir=output_dir, crop_type="poly", cuda=False)

# apply craft text detection and export detected regions to output directory
prediction_result = craft.detect_text(image_path)

# unload models from ram/gpu
craft.unload_craftnet_model()
craft.unload_refinenet_model()

Advanced Usage

# import craft functions
from craft_text_detector import (
    read_image,
    load_craftnet_model,
    load_refinenet_model,
    get_prediction,
    export_detected_regions,
    export_extra_results,
    empty_cuda_cache
)

# set image path and export folder directory
image_path = 'figures/idcard.png'
output_dir = 'outputs/'

# read image
image = read_image(image_path)

# load models
refine_net = load_refinenet_model(cuda=True)
craft_net = load_craftnet_model(cuda=True)

# perform prediction
prediction_result = get_prediction(
    image=image,
    craft_net=craft_net,
    refine_net=refine_net,
    text_threshold=0.7,
    link_threshold=0.4,
    low_text=0.4,
    cuda=True,
    long_size=1280
)

# export detected text regions
exported_file_paths = export_detected_regions(
    image_path=image_path,
    image=image,
    regions=prediction_result["boxes"],
    output_dir=output_dir,
    rectify=True
)

# export heatmap, detection points, box visualization
export_extra_results(
    image_path=image_path,
    image=image,
    regions=prediction_result["boxes"],
    heatmaps=prediction_result["heatmaps"],
    output_dir=output_dir
)

# unload models from gpu
empty_cuda_cache()

  • Add more options for detect_text method

    Add more options for detect_text method

    Hi, sometime I don't want detect_text from file, I want detect_text directly from image in ndarray format, that will save more cost of I/O time. So I contribute this. Thanks for your work

    Enable package to load model from local path

    When using the pypi package it should be allowed to use a model from a local path, because loading it from a remote location removes the control over what model is currently used. And might also result in pull limits being reached.

    In this quick-fix I referenced craft_net as a global variable. If this is not an acceptable workaround, then consider reorganizing the structure of the code.
