Audience
Machine vision developers and industrial automation engineers who need a flexible OCR library to recognize short printed text on parts, labels, or products as part of automated inspection and quality control workflows
About EasyOCR
Euresys EasyOCR is an optical character recognition software library within the Open eVision suite that provides teachable, template-based printed text recognition designed to read short text such as part numbers, serial numbers, expiry dates, manufacturing dates, and lot codes from images or parts in machine vision applications; it uses a font-dependent template matching algorithm that can be trained with custom character examples and comes with pre-defined fonts, enabling reliable recognition even when characters vary in size, are poorly printed, broken, or connected, and supports separation of adjacent text elements in challenging conditions. It is size-invariant and rapid, and can be trained on sample images to build a character database (font) that improves recognition performance for specific industrial text styles. EasyOCR is typically embedded into vision inspection systems via the Open eVision API.
