Setup local environment

Requirements: basically python3 only, but install anything that pops up while doing these steps

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a virtual environment: python3 -m venv venv
3. Activate the virtual environment: source venv/bin/activate
4. Install the dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt (if you add new dependencies please run pip freeze > requirements.txt to update the dependencies file)
5. Run the application: python main.py
6. Deactivate the virtual environment when you finished working with it: deactivate

Running from the command line

process_img.py can be run directly from the command line. In this case the image path is given as a command line argument:

python process_img.py ./images/sample.png

In order to terminate the script (== close all windows opened by OpenCV), press any key while an OpenCV window is focused.

Image processing resources (update this list when you find something useful):

• OpenCV documentation
• Python + OpenCV: OCR Image Segmentation
• Split text lines in scanned document
