Hi I am having issues with sending a Mat image the I have opened through OpenCV to Tesseract using the "SetImage" function. I can use Tesseract on the image when I just input the commented out bit at the end of the line as: SetImage(image);
however when I run it as below the program will crash before even reaching this point and return to console "segmentation error" I have found this code as being identical to somebody who previously did my project, and i have no idea why this error is occurring. Please if somebody can help me or provide a working example of Tesseract using Mats from OpenCv I would greatly appreciate it. kind regards, Adam int main(int argc, char** argv ) { imgOriginal = imread(argv[1],1); // open image Mat img = imgOriginal; ......... namedWindow("img", WINDOW_NORMAL); imshow("img", img); waitKey(0); // hold window open until user presses a key char *outText; tesseract::TessBaseAPI *api = new tesseract::TessBaseAPI(); // Initialize tesseract-ocr with English, without specifying tessdata path if (api->Init("/usr/share/tesseract-ocr", "eng")) { fprintf(stderr, "Could not initialize tesseract.\n"); exit(1); } // Open input image with leptonica library Pix *image = pixRead("/home/pi/opencv/sudoku_capture/sudoku2/Sudoku.jpg"); api->TesseractRect( img.data, 1, img.step1(), 0, 0, img.cols, img.rows); api->SetImage((uchar*)img.data, img.size().width, img.size().height, img.channels(), img.step1()); //image); api->Recognize(0); // Get OCR result outText = api->GetUTF8Text(); printf("OCR output:\n%s", outText); // Destroy used object and release memory api->End(); delete [] outText; //pixDestroy(&image); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
