The scanned and OCRed text from Graves’ Art Sales is very noisy. Let’s start cleaning it up.
Firstly we’ll improve the source images.
In Scan Tailor, after fixing the orientation and letting the program Split Pages and Deskew, we can set the Content Box to “Manual” in Select Content, and crop out the header on each page and any entries that do not refer to Constable on the first and last pages of the series of scans. In Output we can then set the Output Resolution to 600dpi Black and White, Thickness to 30 (selecting Apply To… All Pages), and Despeckle to maximum (selecting Apply To… All Pages).
The resulting images are not ideal for human beings to read but give better results when processed with Tesseract.
We can create a config file telling Tesseract which characters to expect to find in a file. This should help remove some of the stranger characters from the output file.
We can save the following:
<code>tessedit_char_whitelist abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789,."&-'</code>
in a config file for Tesseract. The location of config files may be /usr/share/tesseract/tessdata/configs/ or /usr/local/share/tessdata/configs/, and you may need to be root to access the directory in either case. e.g.:
su -c 'echo tessedit_char_whitelist abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789,.\"\&-'"\'"' > /usr/local/share/tessdata/configs/gravesartsales'<code><br></br></code>
(Ignore the silly quoting we have to use to include a single quote in a single quoted string…)
We can then use the processed files (in the “out” directory of the Scan Tailor project) and this config file along with a shell script to create an improved version of the extracted text. Why a shell script? Writing a script allows us to iteratively improve our approach to the task, and it allows ourselves and others to reproduce the task later. Shell scripts are sketchbooks and notebooks as well as useful tools in themselves.
Here’s the script:
<code>#!/bin/bash<br></br><br></br># The cleaned up pages in order<br></br>PAGES="ALIM0008 ALIM0005 ALIM0009 ALIM0006 ALIM0010 ALIM0007 ALIM0011"<br></br># The directory the input images and output text are in<br></br>DIRECTORY="./out"<br></br># The combined output text<br></br>RESULT="constable.txt"<br></br><br></br># Create empty output file<br></br>echo > ${RESULT}<br></br><br></br>for PAGE in ${PAGES}<br></br>do<br></br> # Perform OCR<br></br> tesseract -psm 6 "${DIRECTORY}/${PAGE}.tif" "${DIRECTORY}/${PAGE}" \<br></br> gravesartsales<br></br> # Append results to output file<br></br> cat "${DIRECTORY}/${PAGE}.txt" >> ${RESULT}<br></br>done<br></br></code>
If we save the script as ocr.sh next to the out folder of the Scan Tailor project and run it:
<code>bash ocr.sh</code>
Then the results in constable.txt can be seen to be much improved on the original version:
