DAN: a Segmentation-free Document Attention Network for Handwritten Document Recognition

For more details about this package, make sure to see the documentation available at https://atr.pages.teklia.com/dan/.

Inference

To apply DAN to an image, one needs to first add a few imports and to load an image. Note that the image should be in RGB.

import cv2
from dan.ocr.predict.inference import DAN

image = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread(IMAGE_PATH), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

Then one can initialize and load the trained model with the parameters used during training. The directory passed as parameter should have:

• a model.pt file,
• a charset.pkl file,
• a parameters.yml file corresponding to the inference_parameters.yml file generated during training.

from pathlib import Path

model_path = Path("models")

model = DAN("cpu")
model.load(model_path, mode="eval")

To run the inference on a GPU, one can replace cpu by the name of the GPU. In the end, one can run the prediction:

from pathlib import Path
from dan.utils import parse_charset_pattern

# Load image
image_path = "images/page.jpg"
_, image = dan_model.preprocess(str(image_path))

input_tensor = image.unsqueeze(0)
input_tensor = input_tensor.to("cpu")
input_sizes = [image.shape[1:]]

# Predict
text, confidence_scores = model.predict(
    input_tensor,
    input_sizes,
    char_separators=parse_charset_pattern(dan_model.charset),
    confidences=True,
)
