这是一个简单的Python 3光学字符识别(OCR)程序，用于获取字符串，我在这里上传了目标gif文件，请下载并保存为/tmp/target.gif .

try:
    from PIL import Image
except ImportError:
    import Image
import pytesseract
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('/tmp/target.gif')))

我把所有的错误信息都贴在这里，请修复它以从图像中获取字符。

TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'tuple'

我在 bash 中用 convert 命令转换它。

convert  "/tmp/target.gif"   "/tmp/target.jpg"

我在这里显示 /tmp/target.gif 和 /tmp/target.jpg。

然后再次执行上面的python代码。

try:
    from PIL import Image
except ImportError:
    import Image
import pytesseract
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('/tmp/target.jpg')))

pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('/tmp/target.jpg')) 什么也得不到，我得到空白字符。

对于 Trenton_M 的代码:

@Thalish Sajeed，为什么我用你的代码得到的是 9244K 而不是 0244k？ 这是我测试过的示例文件。

提取的字符串。

@Trenton_M，更正您代码中的一些错别字和遗漏，并按照您的建议删除 plt.show() 行。

字符串 0244R 在哪里？

最佳答案

让我们从 JPG 图像开始，因为 pytesseract 在处理 GIF 图像格式时存在问题。 reference

filename = "/tmp/target.jpg"
image = cv2.imread(filename)
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret, threshold = cv2.threshold(gray,55, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(threshold))

让我们试着分解这里的问题。

您的图片噪声太大，tesseract 引擎无法识别字母，我们使用一些简单的图像处理技术(例如灰度和阈值)从图像中去除一些噪声。

然后，当我们将其发送到 OCR 引擎时，我们看到字母被更准确地捕获了。

如果您按照此 github link 进行操作，您可以找到我的笔记本，我在其中进行了测试

编辑 - 我已经用一些额外的图像清理技术更新了笔记本。 源图像的噪声太大，tesseract 无法直接在图像上开箱即用。您需要使用图像清理技术。

您可以改变阈值参数或将高斯模糊替换为其他技术，直到获得所需的结果。

如果您希望在嘈杂的图像上运行 OCR - 请查看商业 OCR 提供商，例如 google-cloud-vision .他们每月免费提供 1000 次 OCR 调用。
