## Function Documentation

## § loadOCRHMMClassifier()

Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder::ClassifierCallback> cv::text::loadOCRHMMClassifier | ( | const String & | filename,
|  | int | classifier
| ) |  |

Python:
| retval | = | cv.text.loadOCRHMMClassifier( | filename, classifier | )

Allow to implicitly load the default character classifier when creating an OCRHMMDecoder object.

Parameters

  filename | The XML or YAML file with the classifier model (e.g. OCRBeamSearch_CNN_model_data.xml.gz)
  classifier | Can be one of classifier_type enum values.

## § loadOCRHMMClassifierCNN()

Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder::ClassifierCallback> cv::text::loadOCRHMMClassifierCNN | ( | const String & | filename | ) |

Python:
| retval | = | cv.text.loadOCRHMMClassifierCNN( | filename | )

Allow to implicitly load the default character classifier when creating an OCRHMMDecoder object.

Parameters

  filename | The XML or YAML file with the classifier model (e.g. OCRBeamSearch_CNN_model_data.xml.gz)

The CNN default classifier is based in the scene text recognition method proposed by Adam Coates & Andrew NG in [Coates11a]. The character classifier consists in a Single Layer Convolutional Neural Network and a linear classifier. It is applied to the input image in a sliding window fashion, providing a set of recognitions at each window location.

Deprecated:
  use loadOCRHMMClassifier instead

## § loadOCRHMMClassifierNM()

Ptr<OCRHMMDecoder::ClassifierCallback> cv::text::loadOCRHMMClassifierNM | ( | const String & | filename | ) |

Python:
| retval | = | cv.text.loadOCRHMMClassifierNM( | filename | )

Allow to implicitly load the default character classifier when creating an OCRHMMDecoder object.

Parameters

  filename | The XML or YAML file with the classifier model (e.g. OCRHMM_knn_model_data.xml)

The KNN default classifier is based in the scene text recognition method proposed by Lukás Neumann & Jiri Matas in [Neumann11b]. Basically, the region (contour) in the input image is normalized to a fixed size, while retaining the centroid and aspect ratio, in order to extract a feature vector based on gradient orientations along the chain-code of its perimeter. Then, the region is classified using a KNN model trained with synthetic data of rendered characters with different standard font types.

Deprecated:
  loadOCRHMMClassifier instead
