MakeCharacterSamples


Module: OCR

Creates training font samples from the provided regions.

Name Type Description
Input value inCharacterRegions RegionArray Array of character regions
Input value inCharacters String Character that should be assigned to corresponding regions
Output value outCharacterSamples CharacterSampleArray Array of CharacterSamples

Description

The operation creates a set of character samples used to train OcrMlpModel in the TrainOcr_MLP filter. Consecutive letters in inCharacters correspond to consecutive regions in inCharacterRegions.

Examples

Description of usage of this filter can be found in examples and tutorial: Preparing an OCR model.

Remarks

The length of inCharacters must be equal to the size of the inCharacterRegions array.

To read more about how to use OCR technique, refer to Machine Vision Guide: Optical Character Recognition

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError At least a single character should be provided in MakeCharacterSamples.
DomainError Parameter inCharacterRegions contains empty region in MakeCharacterSamples.
DomainError The size of inCharacterRegions and the length of inCharacters are not equal in MakeCharacterSamples.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.
