Method Detail

doOCR

java.lang.String doOCR(java.io.File imageFile)
                throws TesseractException

Performs OCR operation.

Parameters:

imageFile - an image file

Returns:

the recognized text

Throws:

TesseractException

doOCR

java.lang.String doOCR(java.io.File imageFile,
                       java.awt.Rectangle rect)
                throws TesseractException

Performs OCR operation.

Parameters:

imageFile - an image file

rect - the bounding rectangle defines the region of the image to be recognized. A rectangle of zero dimension or null indicates the whole image.

Returns:

the recognized text

Throws:

TesseractException

doOCR

java.lang.String doOCR(java.awt.image.BufferedImage bi)
                throws TesseractException

Performs OCR operation.

Parameters:

bi - a buffered image

Returns:

the recognized text

Throws:

TesseractException

doOCR

java.lang.String doOCR(java.awt.image.BufferedImage bi,
                       java.awt.Rectangle rect)
                throws TesseractException

Performs OCR operation.

Parameters:

bi - a buffered image

rect - the bounding rectangle defines the region of the image to be recognized. A rectangle of zero dimension or null indicates the whole image.

Returns:

the recognized text

Throws:

TesseractException

doOCR

java.lang.String doOCR(java.util.List<javax.imageio.IIOImage> imageList,
                       java.awt.Rectangle rect)
                throws TesseractException

Performs OCR operation.

Parameters:

imageList - a list of IIOImage objects

rect - the bounding rectangle defines the region of the image to be recognized. A rectangle of zero dimension or null indicates the whole image.

Returns:

the recognized text

Throws:

TesseractException

doOCR

java.lang.String doOCR(int xsize,
                       int ysize,
                       java.nio.ByteBuffer buf,
                       java.awt.Rectangle rect,
                       int bpp)
                throws TesseractException

Performs OCR operation. Use SetImage, (optionally) SetRectangle, and one or more of the Get*Text functions.

Parameters:

xsize - width of image

ysize - height of image

buf - pixel data

rect - the bounding rectangle defines the region of the image to be recognized. A rectangle of zero dimension or null indicates the whole image.

bpp - bits per pixel, represents the bit depth of the image, with 1 for binary bitmap, 8 for gray, and 24 for color RGB.

Returns:

the recognized text

Throws:

TesseractException
