Many users hope package the PaddleOCR service into a docker image, so that it can be quickly released and used in the docker or k8s environment.
This page provides some standardized code to achieve this goal. You can quickly publish the PaddleOCR project into a callable Restful API service through the following steps. (At present, the deployment based on the HubServing mode is implemented first, and author plans to increase the deployment of the PaddleServing mode in the futrue)
## 1. Prerequisites
You need to install the following basic components first：
a. Docker
b. Graphics driver and CUDA 10.0+（GPU）
c. NVIDIA Container Toolkit（GPU，Docker 19.03+ can skip this）
d. cuDNN 7.6+（GPU）
## 2. Build Image
a. Goto Dockerfile directory（ps：Need to distinguish between cpu and gpu version, the following takes cpu as an example, gpu version needs to replace the keyword）
```
cd deploy/docker/hubserving/cpu
```
c. Build image
```
docker build -t paddleocr:cpu .
```
## 3. Start container
a. CPU version
```
sudo docker run -dp 8868:8868 --name paddle_ocr paddleocr:cpu
```
b. GPU version (base on NVIDIA Container Toolkit)
```
sudo nvidia-docker run -dp 8868:8868 --name paddle_ocr paddleocr:gpu
```
c. GPU version (Docker 19.03++)
```
sudo docker run -dp 8868:8868 --gpus all --name paddle_ocr paddleocr:gpu
```
d. Check service status（If you can see the following statement then it means completed：Successfully installed ocr_system && Running on http://0.0.0.0:8868/）
```
docker logs -f paddle_ocr
```
## 4. Test
a. Calculate the Base64 encoding of the picture to be recognized (if you just test, you can use a free online tool, like：https://freeonlinetools24.com/base64-image/）
b. Post a service request（sample request in sample_request.txt）
```
curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data "{\"images\": [\"Input image Base64 encode(need to delete the code 'data:image/jpg;base64,'）\"]}" http://localhost:8868/predict/ocr_system
```
c. Get resposne（If the call is successful, the following result will be returned）

The inference model (the model saved by `fluid.io.save_inference_model`) is generally a solidified model saved after the model training is completed, and is mostly used to give prediction in deployment.
The inference model (the model saved by `paddle.jit.save`) is generally a solidified model saved after the model training is completed, and is mostly used to give prediction in deployment.
The model saved during the training process is the checkpoints model, which saves the parameters of the model and is mostly used to resume training.
Compared with the checkpoints model, the inference model will additionally save the structural information of the model. It has superior performance in predicting in deployment and accelerating inferencing, is flexible and convenient, and is suitable for integration with actual systems. For more details, please refer to the document [Classification Framework](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas/blob/master/docs/zh_CN/extension/paddle_inference.md).
Next, we first introduce how to convert a trained model into an inference model, and then we will introduce text detection, text recognition, and the concatenation of them based on inference model.

By setting the size of the parameter `det_max_side_len`, the maximum value of picture normalization in the detection algorithm is changed. When the length and width of the picture are less than det_max_side_len, the original picture is used for prediction, otherwise the picture is scaled to the maximum value for prediction. This parameter is set to det_max_side_len=960 by default. If the resolution of the input picture is relatively large and you want to use a larger resolution for prediction, you can execute the following command:

**Note**：Since the above model refers to [DTRB](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.01906) text recognition training and evaluation process, it is different from the training of lightweight Chinese recognition model in two aspects:
- The image resolution used in training is different: the image resolution used in training the above model is [3，32，100], while during our Chinese model training, in order to ensure the recognition effect of long text, the image resolution used in training is [3, 32, 320]. The default shape parameter of the inference stage is the image resolution used in training phase, that is [3, 32, 320]. Therefore, when running inference of the above English model here, you need to set the shape of the recognition image through the parameter `rec_image_shape`.
### 5. TEXT RECOGNITION MODEL INFERENCE USING CUSTOM CHARACTERS DICTIONARY
If the chars dictionary is modified during training, you need to specify the new dictionary path by setting the parameter `rec_char_dict_path` when using your inference model to predict.
### 4. TEXT RECOGNITION MODEL INFERENCE USING CUSTOM CHARACTERS DICTIONARY
If the text dictionary is modified during training, when using the inference model to predict, you need to specify the dictionary path used by `--rec_char_dict_path`, and set `rec_char_type=ch`
If you need to predict other language models, when using inference model prediction, you need to specify the dictionary path used by `--rec_char_dict_path`. At the same time, in order to get the correct visualization results,
You need to specify the visual font path through `--vis_font_path`. There are small language fonts provided by default under the `doc/` path, such as Korean recognition:

**Note:** The `trained model` is finetuned on the `pre-trained model` with real data and synthsized vertical text data, which achieved better performance in real scene. The `pre-trained model` is directly trained on the full amount of real data and synthsized data, which is more suitable for finetune on your own dataset.

## 3. Single image or image set prediction
* The following code implements text detection and recognition process. When performing prediction, you need to specify the path of a single image or image set through the parameter `image_dir`, the parameter `det_model_dir` specifies the path to detect the inference model, the parameter `rec_model_dir` specifies the path to identify the inference model, the parameter `use_angle_cls` specifies whether to use the direction classifier, the parameter `cls_model_dir` specifies the path to identify the direction classifier model, the parameter `use_space_char` specifies whether to predict the space char. The visual results are saved to the `./inference_results` folder by default.

For training Chinese data, it is recommended to use
训练中文数据，推荐使用[rec_chinese_lite_train_v1.1.yml](../../configs/rec/ch_ppocr_v1.1/rec_chinese_lite_train_v1.1.yml). If you want to try the result of other algorithms on the Chinese data set, please refer to the following instructions to modify the configuration file:
[rec_chinese_lite_train_v2.0.yml](../../configs/rec/ch_ppocr_v2.0/rec_chinese_lite_train_v2.0.yml). If you want to try the result of other algorithms on the Chinese data set, please refer to the following instructions to modify the configuration file:
co
Take `rec_mv3_none_none_ctc.yml` as an example:

# Modify image_shape to fit long text
image_shape: [3, 32, 320]
...
# Add a custom dictionary, such as modify the dictionary, please point the path to the new dictionary
The configuration file used for prediction must be consistent with the training. For example, you completed the training of the Chinese model with `python3 tools/train.py -c configs/rec/ch_ppocr_v1.1/rec_chinese_lite_train_v1.1.yml`, you can use the following command to predict the Chinese model:
