                [--count COUNT]
                [--worker WORKER]

Requirements

  • python >= 3.6
  • libraqm

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
template string Template module path
config string Config file path
output string Folder path to save data
count integer 100 Number of data
worker integer 1 Number of workers

Examples

Default text images

# horizontal
python gen.py --template templates/default.py --config templates/default_horizontal.yaml --output results --worker 4

# vertical
python gen.py --template templates/default.py --config templates/default_vertical.yaml --output results --worker 4

Multiline text images

python gen.py --template templates/multiline.py --config templates/multiline.yaml --output results --worker 4

Advanced Usage

Non-Latin language data generation

  1. Prepare corpus and fonts

    corpus - txt file, line by line (example)

    font - ttf/otf file (example)

  2. Extract renderable charsets

    python tools/extract_font_charset.py --input fonts --worker 4

    This script extracts renderable charsets for all font files. (example)

    Text files are generated in the input path with the same names as the fonts.

  3. Edit corpus path and font path in config file

  4. Run gen.py

Colormap customization

  1. Prepare images

    image - jpg/jpeg/png/bmp file

  2. Create colormaps

    python tools/create_colormap.py --input images --output colormap.txt --worker 4

    This script creates colormaps for all image files. (example)

  3. Edit colormap path in config file

  4. Run gen.py

  • How to get character bbox annotation?

    How to get character bbox annotation?

    this project is very helpful for generating synth text for scene text recognition, and it seem to generate text image by combine several character images, but the outputs doesn't contain information of each character, is it possible to get character annotation, for example, each character and its location?

    On running gen.py with the command posted in the readme, the process throws

    and is stuck. It stops generating images. Each worker generates a maximum of 1 image before this error is thrown.

  • How to generate Non-Broken bengali synthetic data for text recognition?

    How to generate Non-Broken bengali synthetic data for text recognition?

    thank you for your awesome sharing. i tried to generate text recognition data using your library for bangla printed documents,i made all the necessary changes to make this synthesis engine working for bengali text recognition data generation, however for bangla it is breaking text during text to image conversion just like this trdg issue of mine : https://github.com/Belval/TextRecognitionDataGenerator/issues/253 (where the authors of that repo is not responsive at all)

    here is a sample that i got while using this synthesis engine.

    label : নির্লজ্জ

    image : https://i.ibb.co/0Y0W5GG/image.jpg ( নির্লজ্জ word got broken )

    do you know how to solve this issue? thanks a lot in advance for your great work.

    Hi, great work ! What exactly should one modify to change language. I found this: https://github.com/clovaai/synthtiger/tree/master/resources/charset but not sure if I need to generate something from that.

    thanks in advance :)

  • Fix seed bug and update test code

    Fix seed bug and update test code

    Description

    • Fixed a bug for seed with none value. (https://github.com/clovaai/synthtiger/pull/45#issuecomment-1311229534)
    • Added retry parameter in generator function to make testing easier.
      • If retry is False, when an error occurs during data generation, it does not retry and return data of None value.
    • Updated test code.

    Changes in this PR

    • Updated main.py, gen.py.
    • Updated test code.

    How has this been tested?

    Checked directly whether images are generated correctly.

    Update seed feature

    Description

    • Random seed is also applied to main process.
    • Added get_global_random_states, set_global_random_states, set_global_random_seed functions. This functions can be used in templates.

    Changes in this PR

    • Updated main.py, gen.py.
    • Added functions (get_global_random_states, set_global_random_states, set_global_random_seed).

    How has this been tested?

    Checked directly whether images are generated correctly.

  • Add seed option

    Add seed option

    Description

    This engine cannot reproduce same data. So I added random seed option to solve this issue.

    I also changed multi processing structure. When the new engine puts tasks in the task queue, each worker gets and runs it. And each task is assigned an index. Note that the incoming indexes are random when storing data because the task completion times are different.

    Changes in this PR

    • Added random seed option. (-s or --seed)
    • Refactored main.py, gen.py
    • Updated README.md
    • Updated .pylintrc

    How has this been tested?

    Checked directly whether images are generated correctly.

    Hi team,

    Is there any chance you could improve the documentation for this library to describe what the functions and classes actually do? I'm having trouble figuring out how to utilize this library for different kinds of unstructured & semi-structured text images.
