Shapeclustering Not Responding

[xyq...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to train Tesseract, I've gone through the first few step including 

1. getting TIF's 

2. creating the box files 

3. correcting the box files 

4. training(tesseract [language].[fontname].exp[samplenumber].tif [language].[fontname].exp[samplenumber] box.train) 

5. creating the unicharset file 

6. creating the font_properties file, 

so now I already have the files of : tif, .box, .tr, font_properties, unicharset, all the steps before the shapeclustering were successfully and there is no error. 

But when I ran: shapeclustering -F font_properties -U unicharset -O  [language].unicharset  [language].[fontname].exp0.tr, the command prompt is not responding, it's not finished but there's no output. 

Can anyone tell me why and how to solve it? Thanks in advance.

I also encounter this problem,I tried tesseract 3.5 and  tesseract 4.0, the result is same.

I use tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-v4.0.0.20181030 and   jTessBoxEditor-2.2.0 in windows10. I use 3 images for test,you can find it in the attach files sample.zip.

1. I use jTessBoxEditor to merge the 3 images.

    The merged file name is  "langyp.fontyp.exp0.tif"

 2. generate box file

     tesseract langyp.fontyp.exp0.tif langyp.fontyp.exp0 -l eng --psm 7 --oem 3 batch.nochop makebox

     Then generate  langyp.fontyp.exp0.box file

3.Open JTessBoxEditor -> Box Editor --> open langyp.fontyp.exp0.tif --> modify mistakes

   

4. generate font_properties

    echo "fontyp 0 0 0 0 0" > font_properties

5. generate training file

       tesseract langyp.fontyp.exp0.tif langyp.fontyp.exp0 -l eng --psm 7 --oem 3 nobatch box.train 

      Then langyp.font.exp0.tr file

6. generate charset file

       unicharset_extractor langyp.fontyp.exp0.box  

      Then generate unicharset file

7. generate shape file

       shapeclustering -F font_properties -U unicharset -O langyp.unicharset langyp.fontyp.exp0.tr

8. mftraining -F font_properties -U unicharset -O langyp.unicharset langyp.fontyp.exp0.tr

9. cntraining langyp.fontyp.exp0.tr

10.rename normproto fontyp.normproto

rename inttemp fontyp.inttemp

rename pffmtable fontyp.pffmtable 

rename unicharset fontyp.unicharset

rename shapetable fontyp.shapetable

11.combine_tessdata fontyp.

12.Then you can get the fontyp.traineddata file

But when I follow these steps at step 7,after typing "shapeclustering -F font_properties -U unicharset -O langyp.unicharset langyp.fontyp.exp0.tr" this command,

the teriminal does not have any output even though wating for more than 20 minutes.

If I skip the step 7 do step8, after typing "mftraining -F font_properties -U unicharset -O langyp.unicharset langyp.fontyp.exp0.tr" this command,

only one warning "No shape table file present: shapetable"

Then, the teriminal does not have any output even though waiting for long time.

The issues has been resolved.The reason is that the "font_properties" file must be formatted with UTF-8.
