The package is split into modules with narrow focuses.

<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>pdf_to_images</code> uses Poppler and ImageMagick to extract images from a PDF.</li>
<li><code>extract_tables</code> finds and extracts table-looking things from an image.</li>
<li><code>extract_cells</code> extracts and orders cells from a table.</li>
<li><code>ocr_image</code> uses Tesseract to OCR the text from an image of a cell.</li>
<li><code>ocr_to_csv</code> converts into a CSV the directory structure that <code>ocr_image</code> outputs.</li>

This package was created in a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming">literate programming</a> style with the help of <a href="https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html">Babel</a>.
</p>
<p>
The unfortunate downside is the obscurity of the tooling. It creates a bit of a
barrier for contributors who aren&rsquo;t already familiar with Emacs and Babel.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-3">
<p>
Here is an example of a shell script that uses each module to turn a pdf with a
table into CSV output.
</p>
<p>
Depending on your needs, you may not need all of these steps. If you already
have an image of a table, you can jum straight to extracting the cells.
</p>
<p>
Each piece is its own python module, so you can also simply import the pieces
you need into your own python projects and use them as needed.

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-3">

This answer from opencv.org was heavily referenced while writing the code around
table detection:
<a href="https://answers.opencv.org/question/63847/how-to-extract-tables-from-an-image/">https://answers.opencv.org/question/63847/how-to-extract-tables-from-an-image/</a>.
</p>
<p>
It&rsquo;s much easier to OCR a table when the table is the only thing in the image.
This code detects tables in an image and returns a list of images of just the
tables, no surrounding text or noise.
</p>
<p>
The blurring, thresholding, and line detection is used here as well as later on
for cell extraction. They are good techniques for cleaning an image up in a way
that makes things like shape detection more accurate.

It&rsquo;s likely that some images will contain tables that aren&rsquo;t accurately
recognized by the code above. The code will then need to be made more robust.
But how will we know that changes to the code don&rsquo;t break the detection of
tables that were previously detected?
</p>
<p>
It might be good to add some type of test suite in the future that contains a
spec that matches a pdf with the pages and pixel coordinates of the detected
tables. The coordinates would need to have a range. Something like
&ldquo;example-1.pdf, page-2.png, [450:470, 200:210, 800:820, 1270:1290]&rdquo; where the
elements of the list are valid x, y, w, h ranges. So the test will pass if if
the x, y, width and height are anywhere in that range.

It&rsquo;s a very good idea to train tesseract. Accuracy will improve tremendously.
</p>
<p>
Clone the tesstrain repo at <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesstrain">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesstrain</a>.
</p>
<p>
Run the <a href="#org5f5c842"><code>ocr_tables</code></a> script on a few pdfs to generate some training data. That
script outputs pairs of <code>.png</code> and <code>.gt.txt</code> files that can be used by
tesstrain.
</p>
<p>
Make sure the <code>.gt.txt</code> files contain an accurate recognition of the
corresponding image. Since the first few runs will be untrained, you&rsquo;ll probably
need to fix up a few of the text files.
</p>
<p>
Once they are accurate, move them to a new subdirectory of the tesstrain repo;
<code>tesstrain/data/&lt;model-name&gt;-ground-truth/</code>.
</p>
<p>
You&rsquo;ll also need to clone the <code>tessdata_best</code> repo,
<a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_best</a> and the
<a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata</a> to use as the start of the
training model.
</p>
<p>
I&rsquo;m actually not sure how much the punctuation and numbers from <code>langdata</code> help.
I didn&rsquo;t keep accurate records while playing with the training, I don&rsquo;t
thoroughly understand it, and it&rsquo;s not profitable for me to explore it at the
moment. It worked for my purposes and that has been good enough.
</p>
<pre class="example">
make training MODEL_NAME=table-ocr START_MODEL=eng TESSDATA=~/src/tessdata_best PUNC_FILE=~/src/langdata/eng/eng.punc NUMBERS_FILE=~/src/langdata/eng/eng.numbers
</pre>
<p>
Once the training is complete, there will be a new file
<code>tesstrain/data/&lt;model-name&gt;.traineddata</code>. Copy that file to the directory
Tesseract searches for models. On my machine, it was <code>/usr/local/share/tessdata/</code>.

<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-4-1-1">
<p>
Here is a tip for quickly creating training data.
</p>
<p>
The output of the <code>ocr_cells</code> script will be a directory named <code>ocr_data</code> that
will have two files for each cell. One file is the image of the cell and the
other file is the OCR text.
</p>
<p>
You&rsquo;ll want to compare each image to its OCR text to check for accuracy. If
the text doesn&rsquo;t match, you&rsquo;ll want to update the text and add the image to the
training data.
</p>
<p>
The fastest way to do this is with <code>feh</code>.
</p>
<p>
<code>feh</code> lets you view an image and a caption at the same time and lets you edit
the caption from within <code>feh</code>.
</p>
<p>
<code>feh</code> expects the captions to be named <code>&lt;image-name&gt;.txt</code>, so use a little
shell-fu to do a quick rename.
</p>

</pre>
</div>
<p>
Then run <code>feh -K .</code> to specify the current directory as the caption directory.
This will open a window with the first image in the directory and its caption.
</p>
<p>
Press <code>c</code> to edit the caption (if needed) and <code>n~/~p</code> to move to the
next/previons images. Press <code>q</code> to quit.
</p>
<p>
When finished, rename the files back to the filename structure that Tesseract
looks for in training.

Blurring helps to make noise less noisy so that the overall structure of an
image is more detectable.

That gray row at the bottom is kind of noisy. If we don&rsquo;t somehow clean it up,
OpenCV will detect all sorts of odd shapes in there and it will throw off our
cell detection.

Cleanup can be accomplished with a blur followed by some thresholding.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-5">
<p>
Blurring and thresholding allow us to find the lines. Opening the lines allows
us to find the contours.
</p>
<p>
An &ldquo;Opening&rdquo; is an erosion followed by a dilation. Great examples and
descriptions of each morphological operation can be found at
<a href="https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d61/tutorial_py_morphological_ops.html">https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d61/tutorial_py_morphological_ops.html</a>.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Contours can be explained simply as a curve joining all the continuous points
(along the boundary), having same color or intensity. The contours are a useful
tool for shape analysis and object detection and recognition.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
We can search those contours to find rectangles of certain size.
</p>
<p>
To do that, we can use OpenCV&rsquo;s <code>approxPolyEP</code> function. It takes as arguments
the contour (list of contiguous points), and a number representing how different
the polygon perimeter length can be from the true perimeter length of the
contour. <code>0.1</code> (10%) seems to be a good value. The difference in perimeter
length between a 4-sided polygon and a 3-sided polygon is greater than 10% and
the difference between a 5+ sided polygon and a 4-sided polygon is less than
10%. So a 4-sided polygon is the polygon with the fewest sides that leaves the
difference in perimeter length within our 10% threshold.
</p>
<p>
Then we just get the bounding rectangle of that polygon and we have our cells!
</p>
<p>
We might need to do a little more filtering of those rectangles though. We might
have accidentally found some noise such as another image on the page or a title
header bar or something. If we know our cells are all within a certain size (by
area of pixels) then we can filter out the junk cells by removing cells
above/below certain sizes.

Our bounding rectangles may have picked up some stray pixels from the horizontal
and vertical lines of the cells in the table. It&rsquo;s probobly just a few pixels,
much fewer than the width of the text. If that&rsquo;s the case, then we can remove
that noise with a simple open morph.
</p>
<p>
Once the stray border pixels have been removed, we can expand our border using
<code>copyMakeBorder</code>.

<p>
If we cleaned up the images well enough, we might get some accurate OCR!
</p>
<p>
There is plenty that could have gone wrong along the way.
</p>
<p>
The first step to troubleshooting is to view the intermediate images and see if
there&rsquo;s something about your image that is obviously abnormal, like some really
thick noise or a wrongly detected table.
</p>
<p>
If everything looks reasonable but the OCR is doing something like turning a
period into a comma, then you might need to do some custom Tesseract training.

The second argument passed to <code>ocr_image</code> is a string of the command line arguments passed directly to <code>tesseract</code>. You can view the available options at <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/doc/tesseract.1.asc#options">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/doc/tesseract.1.asc#options</a>
</p>
<p>
If no options are passed to <code>tesseract</code>, then language defaults to english. This means <code>tesseract</code> needs to be able to find a file named <code>eng.traineddata</code> on whatever path it searches for languages.
</p>
<p>
This python package comes with <code>eng.traineddata</code> and <code>table-ocr.traineddata</code>. <code>table-ocr.traineddata</code> is a personal model that I&rsquo;ve found to be more accurate for my use case. You should train your own to maximize accuracy.
</p>
<p>
When you <code>pip install</code> this package, the traineddata gets copied to a <code>tessdata</code> folder in the same directory in which <code>pip</code> installs the package.
</p>
<p>
The <code>ocr_image</code> package in this repo defaults to using the <code>--tessdata-dir</code> option to the package&rsquo;s <code>tessdata</code> directory in the package install location and the <code>-l</code> option to the <code>table_ocr</code> language.

Takes 1 or more image paths as arguments.
</p>
<p>
Images are opened and read with OpenCV.
</p>
<p>
Tables are detected and extracted to a new subdirectory of the given image. The
subdirectory will be the filename sans the extension. The tables inside that
directory will be named <code>table-000.png</code>.
</p>
<p>
If you want to do something with the output, like pipe the paths of the
extracted tables into some other utility, here is a description of the output.
</p>
<p>
For each image path given as an agument, outputs:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>The given image path</li>
<li>Paths of extracted tables; seperated by newlines</li>
<li>Empty newline</li>

<p>
The following code lets us specify a size for images when they are exported to
html.
</p>
<p>
Org supports specifying an export size for an image by putting the <code>#+ATTR_HTML:
:width 100px</code> before the image. But since our images are in a results drawer, we
need a way for our results drawer to do that for us automatically.
</p>
<p>
Adding <code>#+ATTR_HTML</code> after the beginning of the result block introduces a new
problem. Org-babel no longer recognizes the result as a result block and doesn&rsquo;t
remove it when a src block is re-evaluated, so we end up just appending new
results on each evaluation.
</p>
<p>
There is nothing configurable that will tell org-babel to remove our line. But
we can define a function to do some cleanup and then add it as a before hook
with <code>advice-add</code>.
