Recognising text on whiteboard in photo shoot

[Damien Hartwig]

Hi

I am trying to detect the photo shoot identifier image in a batch of images.  This photo always has a whiteboard with text written on it.  I am not interested in the handwritten text, just the printed text on the whiteboard.  Detecting the words "Photo" or "Shoot" in the photo will be enough to identify this image.

I have tried to identify these words with gImageReader, and it works fine.  But when trying to do the OCR with tesseract in the command line (version 5.2 on Windows 64-bit) I don't get any text being returned in the result.  My understanding is the gImageReader uses the tesseract engine, so why am I getting a result with that, and not directly from the command line?

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Could it be because gImageReader has some extra preprocessing steps before calling Tesseract to do the actual recognition work?

Any idea how I can see what gImageReader is doing and replicate this in the command line with tesseract?

https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader it is open source, you can compile and learn what it does with your example.

Ignoring the fact that it works in gImageReader, and just looking at the photo, how can I improve the results?

Did you try reading tesseract documentation?
