# General OCR Pipeline Usage Tutorial

## 1. OCR Pipeline Introduction

OCR is a technology that converts text from images into editable text. It is widely used in fields such as document digitization, information extraction, and data processing. OCR can recognize printed text, handwritten text, and even certain types of fonts and symbols.

The general OCR pipeline is used to solve text recognition tasks by extracting text information from images and outputting it in text form. This pipeline supports the use of PP-OCRv3, PP-OCRv4, and PP-OCRv5 models, with the default model being the PP-OCRv5_server model released by PaddleOCR 3.0, which improves by 13 percentage points over PP-OCRv4_server in various scenarios.

<b>The General OCR Pipeline consists of the following 5 modules. Each module can be independently trained and inferred, and includes multiple models. For detailed information, click the corresponding module to view its documentation.</b>

- [Document Image Orientation Classification Module](../module_usage/doc_img_orientation_classification.md) (Optional)
- [Text Image Unwarping Module](../module_usage/text_image_unwarping.md) (Optional)
- [Text Line Orientation Classification Module](../module_usage/textline_orientation_classification.md) (Optional)
- [Text Detection Module](../module_usage/text_detection.md)
- [Text Recognition Module](../module_usage/text_recognition.md)

In this pipeline, you can select models based on the benchmark test data provided below.

<b>If you prioritize model accuracy, choose models with higher accuracy; if inference speed is critical, select faster models; if model size matters, opt for smaller models.</b>

## 2. Quick Start  

Before using the general OCR pipeline locally, ensure you have installed the wheel package by following the [Installation Guide](../installation.en.md). Once installed, you can experience OCR via the command line or Python integration.  

Please note: If you encounter issues such as the program becoming unresponsive, unexpected program termination, running out of memory resources, or extremely slow inference during execution, please try adjusting the configuration according to the documentation, such as disabling unnecessary features or using lighter-weight models.

### 2.1 Command Line  

Run a single command to quickly test the OCR pipeline.  Before running the code below, please download the [example image](https://paddle-model-ecology.bj.bcebos.com/paddlex/demo_image/pipelines/general_formula_recognition_001.png) locally:  

```bash  
# Default: Uses PP-OCRv5 model  
paddleocr ocr -i https://paddle-model-ecology.bj.bcebos.com/paddlex/imgs/demo_image/general_ocr_002.png \
    --use_doc_orientation_classify False \
    --use_doc_unwarping False \
    --use_textline_orientation False \
    --save_path ./output \
    --device gpu:0 

# Use PP-OCRv4 model by --ocr_version PP-OCRv4
paddleocr ocr -i ./general_ocr_002.png --ocr_version PP-OCRv4
```

### 2.2 Python Script Integration  

The command-line method is for quick testing. For project integration, you can achieve OCR inference with just a few lines of code:  

```python  
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR  

ocr = PaddleOCR(
    use_doc_orientation_classify=False, # Disables document orientation classification model via this parameter
    use_doc_unwarping=False, # Disables text image rectification model via this parameter
    use_textline_orientation=False, # Disables text line orientation classification model via this parameter
)
# ocr = PaddleOCR(lang="en") # Uses English model by specifying language parameter
# ocr = PaddleOCR(ocr_version="PP-OCRv4") # Uses other PP-OCR versions via version parameter
# ocr = PaddleOCR(device="gpu") # Enables GPU acceleration for model inference via device parameter
# ocr = PaddleOCR(
#     text_detection_model_name="PP-OCRv5_mobile_det",
#     text_recognition_model_name="PP-OCRv5_mobile_rec",
#     use_doc_orientation_classify=False,
#     use_doc_unwarping=False,
#     use_textline_orientation=False,
# ) # Switch to PP-OCRv5_mobile models
result = ocr.predict("./general_ocr_002.png")  
for res in result:  
    res.print()  
    res.save_to_img("output")  
    res.save_to_json("output")  
```  

In the above Python script, the following steps are performed:

<details><summary>(2) Invoke the <code>predict()</code> method of the OCR pipeline object for inference prediction, which returns a results list. Additionally, the pipeline provides the <code>predict_iter()</code> method. Both methods are completely consistent in parameter acceptance and result return, except that <code>predict_iter()</code> returns a <code>generator</code>, which can process and obtain prediction results incrementally, suitable for handling large datasets or scenarios where memory saving is desired.

## 3. Development Integration/Deployment

If the general OCR pipeline meets your requirements for inference speed and accuracy, you can proceed directly with development integration/deployment.

If you need to apply the general OCR pipeline directly in your Python project, you can refer to the sample code in [2.2 Python Script Integration](#22-python-script-integration).

Additionally, PaddleOCR provides two other deployment methods, detailed as follows:

🚀 **High-Performance Inference**: In real-world production environments, many applications have stringent performance requirements (especially for response speed) to ensure system efficiency and smooth user experience. To address this, PaddleOCR offers high-performance inference capabilities, which deeply optimize model inference and pre/post-processing to achieve significant end-to-end speed improvements. For detailed high-performance inference workflows, refer to the [High-Performance Inference Guide](../deployment/high_performance_inference.en.md).

☁️ **Service Deployment**: Service deployment is a common form of deployment in production environments. By encapsulating inference functionality as a service, clients can access these services via network requests to obtain inference results. For detailed pipeline service deployment workflows, refer to the [Service Deployment Guide](../deployment/serving.en.md).

Below are the API reference for basic service deployment and examples of multi-language service calls:

## 4. Custom Development
If the default model weights provided by the General OCR Pipeline do not meet your expectations in terms of accuracy or speed for your specific scenario, you can leverage your own domain-specific or application-specific data to further fine-tune the existing models, thereby improving the recognition performance of the General OCR Pipeline in your use case.

### 4.1 Model Fine-Tuning
The general OCR pipeline consists of multiple modules. If the pipeline's performance does not meet expectations, the issue may stem from any of these modules. You can analyze poorly recognized images to identify the problematic module and refer to the corresponding fine-tuning tutorials in the table below for adjustments.

### 4.2 Model Deployment  

After you complete fine-tuning training using a private dataset, you can obtain a local model weight file. You can then use the fine-tuned model weights by specifying the local model save path through parameters or by customizing the pipeline configuration file.

#### 4.2.1 Specify the local model path through parameters

When initializing the pipeline object, specify the local model path through parameters. Take the usage of the weights after fine-tuning the text detection model as an example, as follows:

Command line mode:

```bash
# Specify the local model path via --text_detection_model_dir
paddleocr ocr -i ./general_ocr_002.png --text_detection_model_dir your_det_model_path

# PP-OCRv5_server_det model is used as the default text detection model. If you do not fine-tune this model, modify the model name by using --text_detection_model_name
paddleocr ocr -i ./general_ocr_002.png --text_detection_model_name PP-OCRv5_mobile_det --text_detection_model_dir your_v5_mobile_det_model_path
```

Script mode: 

```python

from paddleocr import PaddleOCR

#  Specify the local model path via text_detection_model_dir
pipeline = PaddleOCR(text_detection_model_dir="./your_det_model_path")

# PP-OCRv5_server_det model is used as the default text detection model. If you do not fine-tune this model, modify the model name by using text_detection_model_name
# pipeline = PaddleOCR(text_detection_model_name="PP-OCRv5_mobile_det", text_detection_model_dir="./your_v5_mobile_det_model_path")

```

#### 4.2.2 Specify the local model path through the configuration file

1.Obtain the pipeline configuration file

Call the `export_paddlex_config_to_yaml` method of the **General OCR Pipeline** object in PaddleOCR to export the current pipeline configuration as a YAML file:  

```Python  
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR  

pipeline = PaddleOCR()  
pipeline.export_paddlex_config_to_yaml("PaddleOCR.yaml")  
```  

2.Modify the Configuration File  

After obtaining the default pipeline configuration file, replace the paths of the default model weights with the local paths of your fine-tuned model weights. For example:  

```yaml  
......  
SubModules:  
  TextDetection:  
    box_thresh: 0.6  
    limit_side_len: 64  
    limit_type: min
    max_side_limit: 4000

The pipeline configuration file includes not only the parameters supported by the PaddleOCR CLI and Python API but also advanced configurations. For detailed instructions, refer to the [PaddleX Pipeline Usage Overview](https://paddlepaddle.github.io/PaddleX/3.0/en/pipeline_usage/pipeline_develop_guide.html) and adjust the configurations as needed.  

3.Load the Configuration File in CLI  

After modifying the configuration file, specify its path using the `--paddlex_config` parameter in the command line. PaddleOCR will read the file and apply the configurations. Example:  

```bash  
paddleocr ocr --paddlex_config PaddleOCR.yaml ...  
```  

4.Load the Configuration File in Python API  

When initializing the pipeline object, pass the path of the PaddleX pipeline configuration file or a configuration dictionary via the `paddlex_config` parameter. PaddleOCR will read and apply the configurations. Example:  

```python  
from paddleocr import PaddleOCR  

pipeline = PaddleOCR(paddlex_config="PaddleOCR.yaml")  
```
