docling-ocr-onnxtr 0.1.1

Onnx Text Recognition (OnnxTR) plugin for docling

The docling-OCR-OnnxTR repository provides a plugin that integrates the OnnxTR OCR engine into the Docling framework, enhancing document processing capabilities with efficient and accurate text recognition.

Key Features:

• Seamless Integration: Easily incorporate OnnxTR's OCR functionalities into your Docling workflows for improved document parsing and analysis.

• Optimized Performance: Leverages OnnxTR's lightweight architecture to deliver faster inference times and reduced resource consumption compared to traditional OCR engines.

• Flexible Deployment: Supports various hardware configurations, including CPU, GPU, and OpenVINO, allowing you to choose the best setup for your needs.

Installation:

To install the plugin, use one of the following commands based on your hardware:

# For CPU
pip install docling-ocr-onnxtr[cpu]
# For Nvidia GPU
pip install docling-ocr-onnxtr[gpu]
# For Intel GPU / Integrated Graphics
pip install docling-ocr-onnxtr[openvino]

# Headless mode (no GUI)
# For CPU
pip install docling-ocr-onnxtr[cpu-headless]
# For Nvidia GPU
pip install docling-ocr-onnxtr[gpu-headless]
# For Intel GPU / Integrated Graphics
pip install docling-ocr-onnxtr[openvino-headless]

By integrating OnnxTR with Docling, users can achieve more efficient and accurate OCR results, enhancing the overall document processing experience.

Configuration

The configuration of the OCR engine is done via the OnnxtrOcrOptions class. The following options are available:

• lang: List of languages to use for OCR. Default is ["en", "fr"].
• confidence_score: Word confidence threshold for the recognition model. Default is 0.5.
• objectness_score: Detection model objectness score threshold. Default is 0.3.
• det_arch: Detection model architecture. Default is "fast_base".
• reco_arch: Recognition model architecture. Default is "crnn_vgg16_bn".
• reco_bs: Batch size for the recognition model. Default is 512.
• auto_correct_orientation: Whether to auto-correct the orientation of the pages. Default is False.
• preserve_aspect_ratio: Whether to preserve the aspect ratio of the images. Default is True.
• symmetric_pad: Whether to use symmetric padding. Default is True.
• paragraph_break: Paragraph break threshold. Default is 0.035.
• load_in_8_bit: Whether to load the model in 8-bit. Default is False. (Not supported for Hugging Face loaded models yet)
• providers: List of providers to use for the Onnxruntime. Default is None which means auto-select.
• session_options: Session options for the Onnxruntime. Default is None which means default OnnxTR session options.

Available Hugging Face models can be found at Hugging Face.
