## Description

This repo contains a python implementation structured as a python package pertaining to the text localization method as in a natural image as outlayed in the Research Paper :- 

[Detecting Text in Natural Scenes with Stroke Width Transform.
Boris Epshtein, Eyal Ofek & Yonatan Wexler
(June, 2010)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/detecting-text-in-natural-scenes-with-stroke-width-transform/)

<p style="text-align:center"><img style="float: center;" src="docs/source/_static/logo.gif" align="centre"></p>

This library extends the transformation stage of the image for textual content by giving the ability to :

- Localize `Letter`'s : through `SWTImage.localizeLetters`
- Localize `Words`'s, via fusing individual `Letter`'s : through `SWTImage.localizeWords`

The process flow of is depicted in the image below :

## Installation 
```py
pip install swtloc
```

## Documentation
Documentation for SWTLoc can be found at - [SWTLoc Documentation](http://swtloc.readthedocs.io/)

## Speed Benchmarking
Below is the speed comparison between different versions of ``SWTLoc`` and their various engines. The time measured for
each test image was calculated based on 10 iterations of 10 runs each. Test Images can be found in ``examples/images/``
folder in this repository, and the code for generating the below table can be found in - 
[Improvements-in-v2.0.0.ipynb](../examples/Improvements-in-v2.0.0.ipynb) notebook in ``examples/`` folder.

## Frequently Used Code Snippets
### Performing Stroke Width Transformation
```python
# Installation
# !pip install swtloc

# Imports
import swtloc as swt
# Image Path
imgpath = 'examples/images/test_image_5/test_img5.jpg'
# Result Path
respath = 'examples/images/test_image_5/usage_results/'
# Initializing the SWTLocalizer class with the image path
swtl = swt.SWTLocalizer(image_paths=imgpath)
# Accessing the SWTImage Object which is housing this image
swtImgObj = swtl.swtimages[0]
# Performing Stroke Width Transformation
swt_mat = swtImgObj.transformImage(text_mode='db_lf')
```
