Fork of microsoft/trocr-base-printed for an OCR Inference endpoint.

This repository implements a custom task for ocr-detection for 🤗 Inference Endpoints. The code for the customized pipeline is in the pipeline.py.

To use deploy this model as an Inference Endpoint, you have to select Custom as the task to use the pipeline.py file. -> double check if it is selected

Run Request

The endpoint expects the image to be served as binary. Below is an curl and python example

cURL

1. get image

wget https://fki.tic.heia-fr.ch/static/img/a01-122-02-00.jpg -O test.jpg

2. send cURL request

curl --request POST \
  --url https://{ENDPOINT}/ \
  --header 'Content-Type: image/jpg' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {HF_TOKEN}' \
  --data-binary '@test.jpg'

3. the expected output

{"text": "INDLUS THE"}

Python

1. get image

wget https://fki.tic.heia-fr.ch/static/img/a01-122-02-00.jpg -O test.jpg

2. run request

import json
from typing import List
import requests as r
import base64

ENDPOINT_URL=""
HF_TOKEN=""

def predict(path_to_image:str=None):
    with open(path_to_image, "rb") as i:
      b = i.read()
    headers= {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {HF_TOKEN}",
        "Content-Type": "image/jpeg" # content type of image
    }
    response = r.post(ENDPOINT_URL, headers=headers, data=b)
    return response.json()

prediction = predict(path_to_image="test.jpg")

prediction

expected output

{"text": "INDLUS THE"}
