# OCR
|
|
|
|
## Build image
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository and navigate into it:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288inf/ocr.git && cd ocr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Build image:
|
|
```
|
|
docker build -t sfb1288inf/ocr:latest .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively build from the GitLab repository without cloning:
|
|
|
|
1. Build image:
|
|
```
|
|
docker build -t sfb1288inf/ocr:latest https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288inf/ocr.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Download prebuilt image
|
|
|
|
The GitLab registry provides a prebuilt image. It is automatically created, utilizing the conquaire build servers.
|
|
|
|
1. Download image:
|
|
```
|
|
docker pull gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de:4567/sfb1288inf/ocr:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
1. Create input and output directories for the OCR software:
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p /<mydatalocation>/files_for_ocr /<mydatalocation>/files_from_ocr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Place your files inside the `/<mydatalocation>/files_for_ocr` directory. Files can either be PDF (.pdf) or multipage TIFF (.tiff, .tif) files. Files should all contain text of the same language.
|
|
|
|
3. Start the OCR process.
|
|
```
|
|
docker run \
|
|
--rm \
|
|
-it \
|
|
-u $(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER) \
|
|
-v /<mydatalocation>/files_for_ocr:/input \
|
|
-v /<mydatalocation>/files_from_ocr:/output \
|
|
sfb1288inf/ocr:latest \
|
|
-i /input \
|
|
-l <languagecode> \
|
|
-o /output
|
|
```
|
|
The arguments below `sfb1288inf/ocr:latest` are described in the [OCR arguments](#ocr-arguments) part.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the prebuilt image, replace `sfb1288inf/ocr:latest` with `gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de:4567/sfb1288inf/ocr:latest`.
|
|
|
|
4. Check your results in the `/<mydatalocation>/files_from_ocr` directory.
|
|
|
