A fork of Tesseract Tools for Android (tesseract-android-tools) that adds some additional functions. Tesseract Tools for Android is a set of Android APIs and build files for the Tesseract OCR and Leptonica image processing libraries.
This project works with Tesseract pre-release v3.04 and Leptonica v1.72. The
required source code for Tesseract and Leptonica is included within the
tess-two/jni folder.
The tess-two subdirectory contains tools for compiling the Tesseract and
Leptonica libraries for use on the Android platform. It contains an Android
library project that provides a Java API for accessing
natively-compiled Tesseract and Leptonica APIs.
The eyes-two subdirectory contains a second, separate library project with
additional image processing code copied from the eyes-free project.
It includes native functions for text detection, blur detection, optical flow
detection, and thresholding. Building eyes-two is not necessary for using the
Tesseract or Leptonica APIs.
The tess-two-test subdirectory contains Android JUnit tests.
- Android 2.2 or higher
- A v3.02 trained data file for a language. Data files must be
extracted to the Android device in a subdirectory named
tessdata.
Release points are tagged with version numbers. A change to the major version number indicates an API change making that version incompatible with previous versions.
This project is set up to build on Android SDK Tools r22.3+ and Android NDK r10d+. The build works on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows 7/8. See Issues for reported build issues.
On 64-bit Ubuntu, you may need to install the ia32-libs 32-bit compatibility
library.
To build the latest tess-two code, run the following commands in the terminal:
git clone git://github.com/rmtheis/tess-two tess
cd tess
cd tess-two
ndk-build
android update project --path .
ant release
To build eyes-two, additionally run the following:
cd ..
cd eyes-two
ndk-build
android update project --path .
ant release
After building, the tess-two and eyes-two projects can be imported into Eclipse using File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace.
While this project does not require Maven (and this project has not yet been registered in a Maven central repository), it can be integrated into a local Maven repository for convenience.
If you're using ProGuard for code shrinking and obfuscation, add the following to your app's ProGuard config to retain fields used for sharing data with native code:
# tess-two
-keep class com.googlecode.leptonica.android.Box {
private long mNativeBox;
}
-keep class com.googlecode.leptonica.android.Boxa {
private long mNativeBoxa;
}
-keep class com.googlecode.leptonica.android.Pix {

}
-keep class com.googlecode.leptonica.android.Pixa {

}
-keep class com.googlecode.tesseract.android.TessBaseAPI {

}
-keep class com.googlecode.tesseract.android.PageIterator {

}
-keep class com.googlecode.tesseract.android.ResultIterator {

}
# eyes-two
-keep class com.googlecode.eyesfree.textdetect.HydrogenTextDetector {
private long mNative;
}
