The CubeRecoContext is passed at // construction time // // The typical usage pattern for Cube is shown below: // // // Create and initialize Tesseract object and get its // // CubeRecoContext object (note that Tesseract object owns it, // // so it will be freed when the Tesseract object is freed). // tesseract::Tesseract *tess_obj = new tesseract::Tesseract(); // tess_obj->init_tesseract(data_path, lang, tesseract::OEM_CUBE_ONLY); // CubeRecoContext *cntxt = tess_obj->GetCubeRecoContext(); // CHECK(cntxt != NULL) << "Unable to create a Cube reco context"; // . // . // . // // Do this to recognize a word in pix whose co-ordinates are // // (left,top,width,height) // tesseract::CubeObject *cube_obj; // cube_obj = new tesseract::CubeObject(cntxt, pix, // left, top, width, height); // // // Get back Cube's list of answers // tesseract::WordAltList *alt_list = cube_obj->RecognizeWord(); // CHECK(alt_list != NULL && alt_list->AltCount() > 0); // // // Get the string and cost of every alternate // for (int alt = 0; alt < alt_list->AltCount(); alt++) { // // Return the result as a UTF-32 string // string_32 res_str32 = alt_list->Alt(alt); // // Convert to UTF8 if need-be // string res_str; // CubeUtils::UTF32ToUTF8(res_str32.c_str(), &res_str); // // Get the string cost. This should get bigger as you go deeper // // in the list // int cost = alt_list->AltCost(alt); // } // // // Call this once you are done recognizing this word // delete cube_obj; // // // Call this once you are done recognizing all words with // // for the current language // delete tess_obj; // // Note that if the language supports "Italics" (see the CubeRecoContext), the // RecognizeWord function attempts to de-slant the word. #ifndef CUBE_OBJECT_H #define CUBE_OBJECT_H #include "char_samp.h" #include "word_altlist.h" #include "beam_search.h" #include "cube_search_object.h" #include "tess_lang_model.h" #include "cube_reco_context.h" namespace tesseract { // minimum aspect ratio needed to normalize a char_samp before recognition static const float kMinNormalizationAspectRatio = 3.5; // minimum probability a top alt choice must meet before having // deslanted processing applied to it static const float kMinProbSkipDeslanted = 0.25; class CubeObject { public: // Different flavors of constructor.
