shapeclustering 1     shapeclustering shape clustering training for Tesseract shapeclustering -D output_dir -U unicharset -O mfunicharset -F font_props -X xheights FILE… shapeclustering(1) takes extracted feature .tr files (generated by tesseract(1) run in a special mode from box files) and produces a file shapetable and an enhanced unicharset. This program is still experimental, and is not required (yet) for training Tesseract. -U FILE The unicharset generated by unicharset_extractor(1). -D dir Directory to write output files to. -F font_properties_file (Input) font properties file, where each line is of the following form, where each field other than the font name is 0 or 1: 'font_name' 'italic' 'bold' 'fixed_pitch' 'serif' 'fraktur' -X xheights_file (Input) x heights file, each line is of the following form, where xheight is calculated as the pixel x height of a character drawn at 32pt on 300 dpi. [ That is, if base x height + ascenders + descenders = 133, how much is x height? ] 'font_name' 'xheight' -O FILE The output unicharset that will be given to combine_tessdata(1). tesseract(1), cntraining(1), unicharset_extractor(1), combine_tessdata(1), unicharset(5) https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/TrainingTesseract Copyright (C) Google, 2011 Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 The Tesseract OCR engine was written by Ray Smith and his research groups at Hewlett Packard (1985-1995) and Google (2006-present).
