Open Source C++ Image Recognition Software

Tesseract is an open source OCR or optical character recognition engine and command line program. OCR is a technology that allows for the recognition of text characters within a digital image. With the latest version of Tesseract, there is a greater focus on line recognition, however it still supports the legacy Tesseract OCR engine which recognizes character patterns. Tesseract can recognize over 100 languages out-of-the-box, and can be trained to recognize other languages. It supports various output formats, including plain text, HTML, PDF and more. It also has unicode (UTF-8) support.

PaddleOCR offers exceptional, multilingual, and practical Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools that can help users train better models and apply them into practice. Inspired by PaddlePaddle, PaddleOCR is an ultra lightweight OCR system, with multilingual recognition, digit recognition, vertical text recognition, as well as long text recognition. It features a PPOCR series of high-quality pre-trained models, which includes: ultra lightweight ppocr_mobile series models, general ppocr_server series models, and ultra lightweight compression ppocr_mobile_slim series models. PaddleOCR is easy to install and easy to use on Windows, Linux, MacOS and other systems.

ncnn is a high-performance neural network inference computing framework designed specifically for mobile platforms. It brings artificial intelligence right at your fingertips with no third-party dependencies, and speeds faster than all other known open source frameworks for mobile phone cpu. ncnn allows developers to easily deploy deep learning algorithm models to the mobile platform and create intelligent APPs. It is cross-platform and supports most commonly used CNN networks, including Classical CNN (VGG AlexNet GoogleNet Inception), Face Detection (MTCNN RetinaFace), Segmentation (FCN PSPNet UNet YOLACT), and more. ncnn is currently being used in a number of Tencent applications, namely: QQ, Qzone, WeChat, and Pitu.

This application is a professional tool with a graphical user interface that enables anonymization of faces using the Deface Engine. Cross-Platform Compatible (Linux-Windows) NOTE: To use on Windows, first install Python. Then, if necessary, install “pip install deface” (only if necessary).

This is an open source library for CNN-based face detection in images. The CNN model has been converted to static variables in C source files. The source code does not depend on any other libraries. What you need is just a C++ compiler. You can compile the source code under Windows, Linux, ARM and any platform with a C++ compiler. SIMD instructions are used to speed up the detection. You can enable AVX2 if you use Intel CPU or NEON for ARM. The model file has also been provided in directory ./models/. The file examples/detect-image.cpp and examples/detect-camera.cpp show how to use the library. The library was trained by libfacedetection.train. You can copy the files in directory src/ into your project, and compile them as the other files in your project. The source code is written in standard C/C++. It should be compiled at any platform which supports C/C++.
