#+BEGIN_COMMENT
Some notes about the header for those not familiar with Org Mode:

The property `header-args` with ~:session \*Python\*~ will cause all evaluated
source code blocks to be evaluated in the buffer named "\*Python\*", which is the
default buffer name for the buffer connected to an inferior python process. This
is useful for interactive development. It gives you a REPL to work with rather
than having to constantly evaluate source code blocks and view the results
output to try any change.

Another note along those lines is that when source code blocks are evaluated,
some unnecessary output is printed in the ~*Python*~ buffer. Adding ~:results
output~ to a code block will minimize that noise.

** Converting PDFs to images

Not all pdfs need to be sent through OCR to extract the text content. If you can
click and drag to highlight text in the pdf, then the tools in this library
probably aren't necessary.

This code calls out to [[https://manpages.debian.org/testing/poppler-utils/pdfimages.1.en.html][pdfimages]] from [[https://poppler.freedesktop.org/][Poppler]].

Tesseract can detect orientation and we can then use [[https://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php][ImageMagick's mogrify]] to
rotate the image.

Tesseract.

* Detecting tables

This answer from opencv.org was heavily referenced while writing the code around
table detection:
https://answers.opencv.org/question/63847/how-to-extract-tables-from-an-image/.

It'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.

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.

#+BEGIN_SRC python :noweb-ref detect-table :results none :noweb no-export
def find_tables(image):
    <<blur>>
    <<threshold>>
    <<lines-of-table>>
    contours, heirarchy = cv2.findContours(
        mask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE,
    )

    MIN_TABLE_AREA = 1e5
    contours = [c for c in contours if cv2.contourArea(c) > MIN_TABLE_AREA]
    perimeter_lengths = [cv2.arcLength(c, True) for c in contours]
    epsilons = [0.1 * p for p in perimeter_lengths]
    approx_polys = [cv2.approxPolyDP(c, e, True) for c, e in zip(contours, epsilons)]
    bounding_rects = [cv2.boundingRect(a) for a in approx_polys]

    # The link where a lot of this code was borrowed from recommends an
    # additional step to check the number of "joints" inside this bounding rectangle.
    # A table should have a lot of intersections. We might have a rectangular image
    # here though which would only have 4 intersections, 1 at each corner.
    # Leaving that step as a future TODO if it is ever necessary.
    images = [image[y:y+h, x:x+w] for x, y, w, h in bounding_rects]

** Improving accuracy

It's likely that some images will contain tables that aren'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't break the detection of
tables that were previously detected?

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
"example-1.pdf, page-2.png, [450:470, 200:210, 800:820, 1270:1290]" 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.

* OCR tables

Find the bounding box of each cell in the table. Run tesseract on each cell.
Print a comma seperated output.

We'll start with an image shown at the end of the previous section.

** Blur

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'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.

#+BEGIN_SRC python :noweb-ref blur :results none
BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE = (17, 17)
STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION = 0
STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION = 0

** Threshold

We've got a bunch of pixels that are gray. Thresholding will turn them all
either black or white. Having all black or white pixels lets us do morphological
transformations like erosion and dilation.

** Finding the vertical and horizontal lines of the table

Note: There's a wierd issue with the results of the example below when it's

an entire buffer evaluation, it's distorted.

[[file:resources/examples/example-table-lines.png]]

** Finding the contours

Blurring and thresholding allow us to find the lines. Opening the lines allows
us to find the contours.

An "Opening" is an erosion followed by a dilation. Great examples and
descriptions of each morphological operation can be found at
[[https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d61/tutorial_py_morphological_ops.html][https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d61/tutorial_py_morphological_ops.html]].

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
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.
#+END_QUOTE

We can search those contours to find rectangles of certain size.

To do that, we can use OpenCV's ~approxPolyEP~ 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. ~0.1~ (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.

Then we just get the bounding rectangle of that polygon and we have our cells!

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.

#+BEGIN_SRC python :noweb-ref bounding-rects :results none
contours, heirarchy = cv2.findContours(
    mask, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE,
)

perimeter_lengths = [cv2.arcLength(c, True) for c in contours]
epsilons = [0.05 * p for p in perimeter_lengths]
approx_polys = [cv2.approxPolyDP(c, e, True) for c, e in zip(contours, epsilons)]

# Filter out contours that aren't rectangular. Those that aren't rectangular
# are probably noise.
approx_rects = [p for p in approx_polys if len(p) == 4]
bounding_rects = [cv2.boundingRect(a) for a in approx_polys]

# Filter out rectangles that are too narrow or too short.
MIN_RECT_WIDTH = 40
MIN_RECT_HEIGHT = 10
bounding_rects = [
    r for r in bounding_rects if MIN_RECT_WIDTH < r[2] and MIN_RECT_HEIGHT < r[3]
]

# The largest bounding rectangle is assumed to be the entire table.
# Remove it from the list. We don't want to accidentally try to OCR
# the entire table.
largest_rect = max(bounding_rects, key=lambda r: r[2] * r[3])
bounding_rects = [b for b in bounding_rects if b is not largest_rect]

cells = [c for c in bounding_rects]
#+END_SRC

** Sorting the bounding rectangles

We want to process these from left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

I've thought of a straightforward algorithm for it, but it could probably be
made more efficient.

We'll find the most rectangle with the most top-left corner. Then we'll find all
of the rectangles that have a center that is within the top-y and bottom-y
values of that top-left rectangle. Then we'll sort those rectangles by the x
value of their center. We'll remove those rectangles from the list and repeat.

#+BEGIN_SRC python :noweb-ref sort-contours :results none
def cell_in_same_row(c1, c2):
    c1_center = c1[1] + c1[3] - c1[3] / 2
    c2_bottom = c2[1] + c2[3]
    c2_top = c2[1]
    return c2_top < c1_center < c2_bottom

orig_cells = [c for c in cells]
rows = []
while cells:
    first = cells[0]
    rest = cells[1:]
    cells_in_same_row = sorted(
        [
            c for c in rest
            if cell_in_same_row(c, first)
        ],
        key=lambda c: c[0]
    )

    row_cells = sorted([first] + cells_in_same_row, key=lambda c: c[0])
    rows.append(row_cells)
    cells = [
        c for c in rest
        if not cell_in_same_row(c, first)
    ]

# Sort rows by average height of their center.
def avg_height_of_center(row):
    centers = [y + h - h / 2 for x, y, w, h in row]
    return sum(centers) / len(centers)

rows.sort(key=avg_height_of_center)

** Cropping each cell to the text

OCR with Tesseract works best when there is about 10 pixels of white border
around the text.

Our bounding rectangles may have picked up some stray pixels from the horizontal
and vertical lines of the cells in the table. It's probobly just a few pixels,
much fewer than the width of the text. If that's the case, then we can remove
that noise with a simple open morph.

Once the stray border pixels have been removed, we can expand our border using
~copyMakeBorder~.

** OCR each cell

If we cleaned up the images well enough, we might get some accurate OCR!

There is plenty that could have gone wrong along the way.

The first step to troubleshooting is to view the intermediate images and see if
there's something about your image that is obviously abnormal, like some really
thick noise or a wrongly detected table.

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.

that contains the pdf.

Prints each pdf followed by the images extracted from that pdf followed by a
blank line.

This does a little bit of cleanup before sending it through tesseract.

Creates images and text files that can be used for training tesseract. See

* Utils

The following code lets us specify a size for images when they are exported to
html.

Org supports specifying an export size for an image by putting the ~#+ATTR_HTML:
:width 100px~ 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.

Adding ~#+ATTR_HTML~ after the beginning of the result block introduces a new
problem. Org-babel no longer recognizes the result as a result block and doesn't
remove it when a src block is re-evaluated, so we end up just appending new
results on each evaluation.

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 ~advice-add~.
