# 简介
PaddleOCR旨在打造一套丰富、领先、且实用的OCR工具库，助力使用者训练出更好的模型，并应用落地。

## 特性：
- 超轻量级模型
    - (检测模型4.1M + 识别模型4.5M = 8.6M)
- 支持竖排文字识别
    - (单模型同时支持横排和竖排文字识别)
- 支持长文本识别
- 支持中英文数字组合识别
- 提供训练代码
- 支持模型部署


## 文档教程

- [基于inference model预测](./doc/)

### **快速开始**

下载inference模型
```
# 创建inference模型保存目录
mkdir inference && cd inference && mkdir det && mkdir rec
# 下载检测inference模型
wget -P ./inference/det 检测inference模型链接
# 下载识别inference模型
wget -P ./inferencee/rec 识别inference模型链接
```

实现文本检测、识别串联推理，预测$image_dir$指定的单张图像：
```
export PYTHONPATH=.
python tools/infer/predict_eval.py --image_dir="/Demo.jpg" --det_model_dir="./inference/det/"  --rec_model_dir="./inference/rec/"
```
在执行预测时，通过参数det_model_dir以及rec_model_dir设置存储inference 模型的路径。

实现文本检测、识别串联推理，预测$image_dir$指指定文件夹下的所有图像：
```
python tools/infer/predict_eval.py --image_dir="/test_imgs/" --det_model_dir="./inference/det/"  --rec_model_dir="./inference/rec/"
```
