Uses the EAST opencv detector with pytesseract to extract text(default) or numbers from images.

Usage main

usage: text_detector [-h] [--east EAST] [-c CONFIDENCE] [-w WIDTH] [-e HEIGHT] [-d] [-n] [-p PERCENTAGE]
                     [-b MIN_BOXES] [-i MAX_ITERATIONS]
                     images [images ...]

Text/Number extractor from image

positional arguments:
  images                path(s) to input image(s)
