# Paddleocr Package

## 1 Get started quickly
### 1.1 install package
install by pypi
```bash
pip install "paddleocr>=2.0.1" # Recommend to use version 2.0.1+
```

build own whl package and install
```bash
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
pip3 install dist/paddleocr-x.x.x-py3-none-any.whl # x.x.x is the version of paddleocr
```
## 2 Use
### 2.1 Use by code
The paddleocr whl package will automatically download the ppocr lightweight model as the default model, which can be customized and replaced according to the section 3 **Custom Model**.

* detection angle classification and recognition
```python
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR,draw_ocr
# Paddleocr supports Chinese, English, French, German, Korean and Japanese.
# You can set the parameter `lang` as `ch`, `en`, `french`, `german`, `korean`, `japan`
# to switch the language model in order.
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang='en') # need to run only once to download and load model into memory
img_path = 'PaddleOCR/doc/imgs_en/img_12.jpg'
result = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True)
for line in result:
    print(line)


# draw result
from PIL import Image
image = Image.open(img_path).convert('RGB')
boxes = [line[0] for line in result]
txts = [line[1][0] for line in result]
scores = [line[1][1] for line in result]
im_show = draw_ocr(image, boxes, txts, scores, font_path='/path/to/PaddleOCR/doc/fonts/simfang.ttf')
im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
im_show.save('result.jpg')
```

Output will be a list, each item contains bounding box, text and recognition confidence
```bash

### 2.2 Use by command line

show help information
```bash
paddleocr -h
```

**Note**: The whl package uses the `PP-OCRv3` model by default, and the input shape used by the recognition model is `3,48,320`, so if you use the recognition function, you need to add the parameter `--rec_image_shape 3,48,320`, if you do not use the default `PP- OCRv3` model, you do not need to set this parameter.

* detection classification and recognition

## 3 Use custom model
When the built-in model cannot meet the needs, you need to use your own trained model.
First, refer to the first section of [inference_en.md](./inference_en.md) to convert your det and rec model to inference model, and then use it as follows

### 3.1 Use by code

```python
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR,draw_ocr
# The path of detection and recognition model must contain model and params files
ocr = PaddleOCR(det_model_dir='{your_det_model_dir}', rec_model_dir='{your_rec_model_dir}', rec_char_dict_path='{your_rec_char_dict_path}', cls_model_dir='{your_cls_model_dir}', use_angle_cls=True)
img_path = 'PaddleOCR/doc/imgs_en/img_12.jpg'
result = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True)
for line in result:
    print(line)

# draw result
from PIL import Image
image = Image.open(img_path).convert('RGB')
boxes = [line[0] for line in result]
txts = [line[1][0] for line in result]
scores = [line[1][1] for line in result]
im_show = draw_ocr(image, boxes, txts, scores, font_path='/path/to/PaddleOCR/doc/fonts/simfang.ttf')
im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
im_show.save('result.jpg')
```

### 3.2 Use by command line

```bash
paddleocr --image_dir PaddleOCR/doc/imgs/11.jpg --det_model_dir {your_det_model_dir} --rec_model_dir {your_rec_model_dir} --rec_char_dict_path {your_rec_char_dict_path} --cls_model_dir {your_cls_model_dir} --use_angle_cls true
```

## 4 Use web images or numpy array as input

### 4.1 Web image

- Use by code
```python
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR, draw_ocr
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang="ch") # need to run only once to download and load model into memory
img_path = 'http://n.sinaimg.cn/ent/transform/w630h933/20171222/o111-fypvuqf1838418.jpg'
result = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True)
for line in result:
    print(line)

# show result
from PIL import Image
image = Image.open(img_path).convert('RGB')
boxes = [line[0] for line in result]
txts = [line[1][0] for line in result]
scores = [line[1][1] for line in result]
im_show = draw_ocr(image, boxes, txts, scores, font_path='/path/to/PaddleOCR/doc/fonts/simfang.ttf')
im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
im_show.save('result.jpg')
```
- Use by command line
```bash
paddleocr --image_dir http://n.sinaimg.cn/ent/transform/w630h933/20171222/o111-fypvuqf1838418.jpg --use_angle_cls=true
```

### 4.2 Numpy array
Support numpy array as input only when used by code

```python
import cv2
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR, draw_ocr, download_with_progressbar
ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang="ch") # need to run only once to download and load model into memory
img_path = 'PaddleOCR/doc/imgs/11.jpg'
img = cv2.imread(img_path)
# img = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY), If your own training model supports grayscale images, you can uncomment this line
result = ocr.ocr(img_path, cls=True)
for line in result:
    print(line)

# show result
from PIL import Image

download_with_progressbar(img_path, 'tmp.jpg')
image = Image.open('tmp.jpg').convert('RGB')
boxes = [line[0] for line in result]
txts = [line[1][0] for line in result]
scores = [line[1][1] for line in result]
im_show = draw_ocr(image, boxes, txts, scores, font_path='/path/to/PaddleOCR/doc/fonts/simfang.ttf')
im_show = Image.fromarray(im_show)
im_show.save('result.jpg')
```
