How to Use YuzuMarker.FontDetection for CJK Font Recognition

Jun 10, 2022 | Data Science

If you’ve ever struggled to recognize fonts from images, you’re not alone! The YuzuMarker.FontDetection project revolutionizes this process by providing a powerful model specifically tailored for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) fonts. This article will walk you through the setup and usage of this innovative tool.

Setting Up and Generating Datasets

Before you dive into font detection, you need to prepare your environment and generate datasets. Think of this process as setting up a kitchen before cooking – you want to have all your ingredients and tools ready!

Step 1: Download Required Resources

  • Download the CJK font pack from VCB-Studio and extract it to the dataset/fonts directory.
  • Prepare your own background images and place them in dataset/pixiv/images.

Step 2: Cleaning Filenames

Once your assets are in place, run the filename cleaning script:

bash
python dataset_filename_preprocess.py

Step 3: Generating the Dataset

With your data cleaned, you’re ready to generate the font dataset. Imagine this as drafting your design before the actual artwork:

bash
python font_ds_generate_script.py 1 1

You can run multiple partitions of this task in parallel to speed up the process, much like having multiple chefs in the kitchen:

bash
python font_ds_generate_script.py 1 4
python font_ds_generate_script.py 2 4
python font_ds_generate_script.py 3 4
python font_ds_generate_script.py 4 4

Final Check

After generating the dataset, run a validation script to ensure everything is in order:

bash
python font_ds_detect_broken.py

Model Training

With your dataset ready, it’s time to train the model. This is similar to the cooking process where you apply your techniques to create a delicious meal:

bash
python train.py -h

This command will provide you with all the training parameters you can adjust, allowing you to fine-tune the model to your liking.

Deploying and Running the Demo

Ready to see YuzuMarker.FontDetection in action? You can deploy the demo using either a script or Docker:

  • Method 1: Start the demo server using the script available in the repository.
  • Method 2: If you prefer using Docker, build and run the docker image:
  • bash
    docker build -t yuzumarker.fontdetection .
    docker run -it -p 7860:7860 yuzumarker.fontdetection
    

Troubleshooting

If you run into any issues during setup or usage, here are some troubleshooting tips to help guide you:

  • Ensure you have all dependencies installed, particularly if you are using Docker or a virtual environment.
  • Double-check the paths where data is stored; incorrect paths can lead to errors.
  • If your dataset generation script terminates unexpectedly, check for cache corruption by running the check script mentioned earlier.
