Summary

This is a real issue for me as I am capturing images via security camera and every frame runs through Tesseract in real time.

While running in a loop over files, OpenCV video frame, or as a web service, gosseract is opening a new /dev/ttys002 (or /dev/pts/004) every time an image is parsed. This eventually leads to a situation of running out of allowed file handlers.

I have attached the example Go projects that have the issue and a C++ version that does not.

Reproducibility

Always

Hi.

I've added an ability to provide different TessdataPrefix directly from go code with default value equal to environment TESSDATA_PREFIX. Requesting for a review, thanks.

Seems like my solution only works with latest tesseract and only on linux (different was not tested). We should somehow define default directory for models for different tesseract versions.

I benchmarked my app and seen that 90% of the CPU time is lost in "init()".

With this code I keep the instance open and perform multiple recognition on it, if a configuration change requires to init again, I flag the instance to rerun init

What do you think about it?

Details

This is a typical use of gosseract to extract text, in a sample program (profiling included):

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "image/png"

    "gocv.io/x/gocv"
    "github.com/openrm/gosseract"
    "github.com/pkg/profile"
)

func GetTextFromImage(img *gocv.Mat, client *gosseract.Client) (string, error) {
    buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
    finalImage, err := img.ToImage()
    png.Encode(buf, finalImage)

    client.SetImageFromBytes(buf.Bytes())
    client.SetPageSegMode(gosseract.PSM_SINGLE_BLOCK)

    out, err := client.Text()

    if err != nil {
      return "", err
    }

    return out, nil
}

func main() {
    defer profile.Start().Stop()

    client := gosseract.NewClient()
    defer client.Close()

    client.Languages = []string{"jpn"}

    img := gocv.IMRead("1.png", gocv.IMReadColor)

    for i := 0; i < 20; i++ {
        GetTextFromImage(&img, client)
    }
}

With the code above, I get the following result with go profiling:

As you can see, over the 12 seconds spent in the program, 11 are caused by repeated calls to init.

With the proposed changes in this PR, the profiling is now like this:

Notes

• SetConfigFile and SetLanguage cause the program to init again
• SetWhitelist, SetBlacklist, DisabledOutput and SetVariable make internal call to setVariablesToInitializedAPI if init has already been called

I'd like to use tesseract with go on Windows 7.

During the installation process, as stated in the docs I execute

c:\go\src\proj>go get github.com/otiai10/gosseract
# github.com/otiai10/gosseract/tesseract
C:\go\src\github.com\otiai10\gosseract\tesseract\tess.cpp:1:31: fatal error: tesseract/baseapi.h: No such file or directory
 #include <tesseract/baseapi.h>
                               ^
compilation terminated.

And by searching the file system for the header file baseapi.h, I cannot find it.

How can I solve this? Thank you

Summary

I am running tesseract and gosseract on the same image, a single line of text. Tesseract finds the text, gosseract does not.

If the developer forgets to call the close method after creating the client, it will cause a memory leak.

To avoid this, I refer to the method in os.File. By adding a finalizer, the Close method will be called when the client is unreachable and the developer haven't call the Close method neither.

Test

client.go

// NewClient construct new Client. It's due to caller to Close this client.
func NewClient() *Client {
	client := &Client{
		api:        C.Create(),
		Variables:  map[SettableVariable]string{},
		Trim:       true,
		shouldInit: true,
		Languages:  []string{"eng"},
	}
	// set a finalizer to close the client when it's unused and not closed by the user
	runtime.SetFinalizer(client, (*Client).Close)
	return client
}

// Close frees allocated API. This MUST be called for ANY client constructed by "NewClient" function.
func (client *Client) Close() (err error) {
	// defer func() {
	// 	if e := recover(); e != nil {
	// 		err = fmt.Errorf("%v", e)
	// 	}
	// }()
	fmt.Println("Closed")
	C.Clear(client.api)
	C.Free(client.api)
	if client.pixImage != nil {
		C.DestroyPixImage(client.pixImage)
		client.pixImage = nil
	}
	// no need for a finalizer anymore
	runtime.SetFinalizer(client, nil)
	return err
}

test code

func main() {
	runGgosseract()
	runtime.GC() // run a garbage collection
	time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
	// see "Close" before "exit"
	fmt.Println("exit")
}

func runGgosseract() {
	client := gosseract.NewClient()
	client.SetImage("path/to/image.png")
	text, _ := client.Text()
	fmt.Println(text)
}

The gosseract source files were not being downloaded during the Docker build process so the go test step was failing. Setting the environment variable fixes the issue and allows correct building of the docker image.

Summary

• I install gosseract at win10 . use MSYS2 with Mingw64 to install tesseract , leptonica module。 and finally install gosseract use command 'go get -t go get -t github.com/otiai10/gosseract/v2 '

when i build my test project success , eventually throw a exception : `failed to initialize TessBaseAPI with code -1: '

then I go to the install directory at go path , run the go test , also get the same error ： all_test.go:144 Expected to be <nil> But actual failed to initialize TessBaseAPI with code -1:

I can do nothing , becasue there are haven't any message with that code . pls help ! 3q !
