MakeCharacterSamples


Module: OCR

Creates training font samples from the provided regions.

Name Type Description
Input value
inCharacterRegions RegionArray Array of character regions
Input value
inCharacters String Character that should be assigned to corresponding regions
Output value
outCharacterSamples CharacterSampleArray Array of CharacterSamples

Description

The operation creates a set of character samples used to train OcrMlpModel in the TrainOcr_MLP filter. Consecutive letters in inCharacters correspond to consecutive regions in inCharacterRegions.

Examples

Description of usage of this filter can be found in examples and tutorial: Preparing an OCR model.

Remarks

The length of inCharacters must be equal to the size of the inCharacterRegions array.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError At least a single character should be provided in MakeCharacterSamples.
DomainError Parameter inCharacterRegions contains empty region in MakeCharacterSamples.
DomainError The size of inCharacterRegions and the length of inCharacters are not equal in MakeCharacterSamples.

Complexity Level
