Aspose.OCR for CPP 21.11 Release Notes

All Features

Enhancements

• added ability to set contrast correction preprocessing filter before recognition
• extended preprocessing filters with median and contrast correction filters
• added ability to set only digits or latin letters recognition
• added ability to get multipage PDF or DOCX document as a result of multiple images recognition

Public API and Backwards Incompatible Changes

New API

• added new image optimization filters for C-compatible API: - OCR_IMG_PREPROCESS_MEDIAN - OCR_IMG_PREPROCESS_CONTRAST_CORRECTION

• added new structures to set image contrast correction filters for C++ -compatible API: - OCR_IMG_Median - OCR_IMG_Contrast_Correction

• added new enum to set recognition characters allowed type: - enum characters_allowed_type { ALL = 0, LATIN_ALPHABET = 1, DIGITS };

• added new fields to the RecognitionSettings structure: - characters_allowed_type allowed_characters = characters_allowed_type::ALL; //(default) - bool auto_contrast = false; //(default)

Removed APIs

No Changes

Example (C++17 since filesystem)

#include <iostream>
#include <aspose_ocr.h>
#include <filesystem>
#include <corecrt_io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main()
{
_setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT);
//Current directory const
std::filesystem::path path{ std::filesystem::current_path() };
/* asposeocr_set_license */
const std::string lic = "/Aspose.Total.lic";
std::filesystem::path license = path.string() + lic;
asposeocr_set_license(license.string().c_str());
/* asposeocr_set_license */
bool lic_result = asposeocr_get_state();


/* Preprocess and save input images as multipage PDF file */
	const size_t len = 4096;
    wchar_t buffer[len] = { 0 };
    RecognitionSettings settings;
    settings.save_format = file_format::pdf;
    //  settings.auto_contrast = true;
	//  settings.allowed_characters = characters_allowed_type::LATIN_ALPHABET;
	//  settings.filters.filter_1 = OCR_IMG_PREPROCESS_CONTRAST_CORRECTION; // the same as settings.auto_contrast = true;

    asposeocr_page_save("image1.jpg;image2.jpg", "result_cpp.pdf", settings);
