I am working on a test application to develop a small text detection and recognition app in python using Google Collab. Can you advise any code examples to achieve this? My requirement is that I should be able to detect and recognize text in an image using OpenCV.

Please advise.

CodePudding user response：

you need to make pipeline with following step. if you work only opencv.

• opencv for pre-processing - use morphological operations.
• For Text detection - use Craft model or finding contours in your image.
• For Recognition - Use Tesseract-OCR

According to my personal experience. EasyOCR is very good with good accuracy. easy to use and train your own text also.
