OCRCPP-172Add the ability to set a threshold valueEnhancement

Enhancements

  • added ability to save the recognition result in the Microsoft Word Document format and in plain text
  • added custom image quality correction with parameter threshold_value

Public API and Backwards Incompatible Changes

New API

FunctionDescription
void asposeocr_page_save(
const char* image_path,
const char* save_path,
RecognitionSettings settings);

Optical character recognition image from file and saving result as a document 

Parameters:

image_path - path to image
save_path - path to the result file with filename.

RecognitionSettings settings  - allow to set: 
- all_image (true/false) - turning on means recognizing the image as a single area
- correct_skew - detects orientation and auto-rotate image if needed
- alphabet - set of allowed characters in the alphabet (symbols for recognition). L"" by default (all alphabet allowed)
- format - export_format. Allowed options - text or JSON. In JSON format for rectangles, you will get the extended result with areas coordinates and text in these areas
- rectangles - an array of rect structure to set areas for recognition
- rectangles_size - the size of rectangles array

new options:
 - the ability to set file format (txt or docx), the ability to set threshold value

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();
//Recognize image
std::filesystem::path image = path.string() + "/p.png";
// Prepare buffer for result (in symbols, len_byte = len * sizeof(wchar_t))
const size_t len = 4096; 
wchar_t buffer[len] = { 0 };

 
/* asposeocr_page_from_uri*/

const char* uri = "https://www.castlegateit.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/justified_text.png";

RecognitionSettings settings;
settings.threshold_value = 80;

size_t res_len = asposeocr_page_from_uri(uri, buffer, len, settings);
std::wcout << buffer;

/* asposeocr_page_save*/

settings.threshold_value = 0; //- means avto calculation
settings.save_format = file_format::docx;

asposeocr_page_save(image.string().c_str(), "res_ocr.docx", settings);
}
