This section uses the icdar2015 dataset as an example to introduce the training, evaluation, and testing of the detection model in PaddleOCR.
## 1.1 DATA PREPARATION
The icdar2015 dataset can be obtained from [official website](https://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=4&com=downloads). Registration is required for downloading.
The icdar2015 dataset contains train set which has 1000 images obtained with wearable cameras and test set which has 500 images obtained with wearable cameras. The icdar2015 can be obtained from [official website](https://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=4&com=downloads). Registration is required for downloading.
After registering and logging in, download the part marked in the red box in the figure below. And, the content downloaded by `Training Set Images` should be saved as the folder `icdar_c4_train_imgs`, and the content downloaded by `Test Set Images` is saved as the folder `ch4_test_images`
Decompress the downloaded dataset to the working directory, assuming it is decompressed under PaddleOCR/train_data/. In addition, PaddleOCR organizes many scattered annotation files into two separate annotation files for train and test respectively, which can be downloaded by wget:
This article introduces the use of the Python inference engine for the PP-OCR model library. The content is in order of text detection, text recognition, direction classifier and the prediction method of the three in series on the CPU and GPU.

The visualized recognition results are saved to the `./inference_results` folder by default.
The chapter on PP-OCR model and configuration file mainly adds some basic concepts of OCR model and the content and role of configuration file to have a better experience in the subsequent parameter adjustment and training of the model.
This chapter contains three parts. Firstly, [PP-OCR Model Download](. /models_list_en.md) explains the concept of PP-OCR model types and provides links to download all models. Then in [Yml Configuration](. /config_en.md) details the parameters needed to fine-tune the PP-OCR models. The final [Python Inference for PP-OCR Model Library](. /inference_ppocr_en.md) is an introduction to the use of the PP-OCR model library in the first section, which can quickly utilize the rich model library models to obtain test results through the Python inference engine.

Let's first understand some basic concepts.

The recognition model is converted to the inference model in the same way as the detection, as follows:
```
# -c Set the training algorithm yml configuration file
# -o Set optional parameters
# Global.pretrained_model parameter Set the training model address to be converted without adding the file suffix .pdmodel, .pdopt or .pdparams.
# Global.save_inference_dir Set the address where the converted model will be saved.
If you have a model trained on your own dataset with a different dictionary file, please make sure that you modify the `character_dict_path` in the configuration file to your dictionary file path.
After the conversion is successful, there are three files in the model save directory:
```
inference/det_db/
├── inference.pdiparams # The parameter file of recognition inference model
├── inference.pdiparams.info # The parameter information of recognition inference model, which can be ignored
└── inference.pdmodel # The program file of recognition model
