OCRiga

OCRiga is a software library designed for optical character recognition (OCR) tasks. It is primarily written in C++ and aims to provide a robust and efficient solution for extracting text from images. The library is known for its modular design, allowing developers to integrate specific OCR components into their applications as needed. OCRiga supports a variety of image formats and can process images in different resolutions and qualities.

The core functionality of OCRiga involves several stages common to OCR pipelines. These include image preprocessing steps such as noise reduction and binarization, followed by character segmentation to isolate individual characters. Recognition of these characters is then performed, often utilizing machine learning models or pre-trained character sets. The output of the OCR process is typically the extracted text, which can then be further processed or stored.

OCRiga is often used in applications requiring document digitization, data entry automation, and text analysis from visual media. Its C++ implementation makes it suitable for performance-critical applications where speed and resource efficiency are important. While not as widely known as some other prominent OCR engines, OCRiga offers a viable option for developers seeking a flexible and customizable OCR solution. The library's development and availability have contributed to the broader field of computer vision and document processing.
