In this guide, we will walk you through the process of utilizing the OCR-2.0 model for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tasks using the Hugging Face Transformers library. This powerful tool allows for seamless integration and advanced functionality that can help you extract and manage text from images effectively.
Getting Started
Before we delve into the implementation, here are the requirements you need to satisfy:
- Python 3.10
- torch==2.0.1
- torchvision==0.15.2
- transformers==4.37.2
- tiktoken==0.6.0
- verovio==4.3.1
- accelerate==0.28.0
Ensure you have these packages installed in your environment.
Implementation Guide
Follow these steps to run OCR-2.0:
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
# Initialize the tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ucaslcl/GOT-OCR2_0", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("ucaslcl/GOT-OCR2_0", trust_remote_code=True, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="cuda", use_safetensors=True, pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)
# Set model to evaluation mode
model = model.eval().cuda()
# Input your test image
image_file = "xxx.jpg"
# Perform OCR
res = model.chat(tokenizer, image_file, ocr_type="ocr")
print(res)
Here’s a simple analogy to understand the code above: Imagine the OCR model as a highly skilled librarian. The tokenizer is like a librarian’s cataloging system that organizes books so that the librarian can quickly find the information needed. The model itself is the skilled librarian, ready to interpret the text found in a book (the input image in this case).
Using Different OCR Types
You can customize the type of OCR you wish to execute based on your requirements:
- Plain Text OCR: Use the command
res = model.chat(tokenizer, image_file, ocr_type="ocr")for standard text extraction. - Formatted Text OCR: Modify the command to format your output:
res = model.chat(tokenizer, image_file, ocr_type="format"). - Fine-grained OCR: For detailed text extraction, include bounding boxes:
res = model.chat(tokenizer, image_file, ocr_type="ocr", ocr_box=[]). - Multi-crop OCR: Use the command
res = model.chat_crop(tokenizer, image_file, ocr_type="ocr")for extracting multiple sections of text.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter any issues while using the OCR-2.0 model, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure all package dependencies are correctly installed and match the specified versions.
- Check your CUDA setup if you experience performance issues or model loading errors.
- Verify that the image path is accurately specified. A common error occurs if the image file cannot be located.
