Quick Start

Installation

  1. PaddlePaddle

Please refer to the following commands to install PaddlePaddle using pip:

# for CUDA11.8
python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.0.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu118/

# for CUDA12.6
python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.0.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu126/

# for CPU
python -m pip install paddlepaddle==3.0.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cpu/

For details about PaddlePaddle installation, please refer to the PaddlePaddle official website.

  1. PaddleOCR

Install the latest version of the PaddleOCR inference package from PyPI:

python -m pip install paddleocr

Model Usage

You can quickly experience the functionality with a single command:

paddleocr seal_text_detection \
    --model_name PP-OCRv4_mobile_seal_det \
    -i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63d7b8ee07cd1aa3c49a2026/k02u35x60XZmaL9hzeQ0T.png

You can also integrate the model inference of the seal text detection module into your project. Before running the following code, please download the sample image to your local machine.

from paddleocr import SealTextDetection
model = SealTextDetection(model_name="PP-OCRv4_mobile_seal_det")
output = model.predict(input="k02u35x60XZmaL9hzeQ0T.png", batch_size=1)
for res in output:
    res.print()
    res.save_to_img(save_path="./output/")
    res.save_to_json(save_path="./output/res.json")

After running, the obtained result is as follows:

{'res': {'input_path': '/root/.paddlex/predict_input/k02u35x60XZmaL9hzeQ0T.png', 'page_index': None, 'dt_polys': [array([[463, 477],
       ...,
       [428, 505]]), array([[297, 444],
       ...,
       [230, 443]]), array([[457, 346],
       ...,
       [267, 345]]), array([[325,  38],
       ...,
       [322,  37]])], 'dt_scores': [0.9912813174046151, 0.9906722305163783, 0.9847175812219835, 0.9914792941713804]}}

Pipeline Usage

The ability of a single model is limited. But the pipeline consists of several models can provide more capacity to resolve difficult problems in real-world scenarios.

Seal Text Recognition Pipeline

Seal text recognition is a technology that automatically extracts and recognizes the content of seals from documents or images. The recognition of seal text is part of document processing and has many applications in various scenarios, such as contract comparison, warehouse entry and exit review, and invoice reimbursement review.And there are 5 modules in the pipeline:

  • Seal Text Detection Module
  • Text Recognition Module
  • Layout Detection Module (Optional)
  • Document Image Orientation Classification Module (Optional)
  • Text Image Unwarping Module (Optional)

Run a single command to quickly experience the OCR pipeline:

paddleocr seal_recognition -i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63d7b8ee07cd1aa3c49a2026/k02u35x60XZmaL9hzeQ0T.png \
    --seal_text_detection_model_name PP-OCRv4_mobile_seal_det \
    --use_doc_orientation_classify False \
    --use_doc_unwarping False \
    --save_path ./output \
    --device gpu:0

Results are printed to the terminal:

If save_path is specified, the visualization results will be saved under save_path. The visualization output is shown below:

The command-line method is for quick experience. For project integration, also only a few codes are needed as well:

from paddleocr import PaddleOCR

ocr = PaddleOCR(
    seal_text_detection_model_name="PP-OCRv4_mobile_seal_det",
    use_doc_orientation_classify=False, # Use use_doc_orientation_classify to enable/disable document orientation classification model
    use_doc_unwarping=False, # Use use_doc_unwarping to ena
