Cuneiform for Linux

Image segmentation not working

Asked by warpitaly on 2010-03-26

Greetings,
I'm using cuneiform 0.9 on Ubuntu.

I'm processing several invoices, and (too) often tabular parts are processed as images and ignored by the OCR.
Is it normal?

Furthermore, the images are referred in the hocr but their bounding boxes are always set to zero.

Hence:
1) is there a way to get a less greedy image/text splitter?
2) is there a way to get the right coordinates in the hocr, in order to allow a recursive processing?

Thanks!

1) Unfortunately, there's no way to control it ATM. I think you can disable it altogether, but I am not sure whether it will then try to recognize everything or just dismiss images.

2) If this is reproducible on latest trunk, please file a bug, because it shouldn't normally happen.
