## Steps to run the code

***Note** - Due to several dependency issues in [maskrcnn-benchmark](https://github.com/facebookresearch/maskrcnn-benchmark), YoloV8 is used for text line detection. The model is finetuned on the [UrduDoc](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/urdudoc) dataset.

* Clone the repository

* Install the dependencies

    ```bash

    pip install torch==2.0.1 ultralytics==8.1.8

    ```

* Download [yolov8m_UrduDoc.pt](https://github.com/abdur75648/urdu-text-detection/releases/download/v1.0.0/yolov8m_UrduDoc.pt)

* Put `test.jpg`

* Run `python3 detect.py`

* The output will be saved as `output.jpg`
