High Accuracy Ocr Text Extraction

via “text detection and ocr integration”

Comprehensive computer vision library with 2,500+ algorithms.

Unique: EAST detector uses efficient multi-scale feature pyramid with geometry-aware NMS, achieving 10x speedup over R-CNN-based detectors while maintaining competitive accuracy; perspective correction uses homography estimation for automatic text alignment
