## Introduction

This offers [OCR-D](https://ocr-d.de) compliant [workspace processors](https://ocr-d.de/en/spec/cli) for
binarization via [Doxa](https://github.com/brandonmpetty/Doxa) (using its native [Python bindings](https://github.com/brandonmpetty/Doxa/tree/master/Bindings/Python)).

It is itself written in Python, and relies heavily on the
[OCR-D core API](https://github.com/OCR-D/core). This is
responsible for handling METS/PAGE, and providing the OCR-D
CLI.

## Installation

Create and activate a [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#creating-virtual-environments) as usual.

To install Python dependencies:

make deps

Which is the equivalent of:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To install this module, then do:

make install

Which is the equivalent of:

pip install .

## Usage

### [OCR-D processor](https://ocr-d.github.io/cli) interface `ocrd-doxa-binarize`

To be used with [PAGE-XML](https://github.com/PRImA-Research-Lab/PAGE-XML) documents in an [OCR-D](https://ocr-d.github.io/) annotation workflow.

```
ocrd-doxa-binarize -h

Usage: ocrd-doxa-binarize [OPTIONS]

binarize via locally adaptive thresholding

Options:
-I, --input-file-grp USE File group(s) used as input
-O, --output-file-grp USE File group(s) used as output
-g, --page-id ID Physical page ID(s) to process
--overwrite Remove existing output pages/images
(with --page-id, remove only those)
-p, --parameter JSON-PATH Parameters, either verbatim JSON string
or JSON file path
-P, --param-override KEY VAL Override a single JSON object key-value pair,
taking precedence over --parameter
-m, --mets URL-PATH URL or file path of METS to process
-w, --working-dir PATH Working directory of local workspace
-l, --log-level [OFF|ERROR|WARN|INFO|DEBUG|TRACE]
Log level
-C, --show-resource RESNAME Dump the content of processor resource RESNAME
-L, --list-resources List names of processor resources
-J, --dump-json Dump tool description as JSON and exit
-h, --help This help message
-V, --version Show version

Parameters:
"dpi" [number - 0]
pixel density in dots per inch (overrides any meta-data in the
images); disabled when zero
"level-of-operation" [string - "page"]
PAGE XML hierarchy level to operate on
Possible values: ["page", "region", "line"]
"algorithm" [string - "ISauvola"]
Thresholding algorithm to use.
Possible values: ["Otsu", "Bernsen", "Niblack", "Sauvola", "Wolf",
"Gatos", "NICK", "Su", "Singh", "Bataineh", "ISauvola", "WAN"]
"parameters" [object - {}]
Dictionary of algorithm-specific parameters. Unless overridden here,
the following defaults are used:
Bernsen: {'window': 75, 'threshold': 100, 'contrast-limit': 25}
NICK: {'window': 75, 'k': -0.2}
Niblack: {'window': 75, 'k': 0.2}
Singh: {'window': 75, 'k', 0.2}
Gatos: {'glyph': 60}
Sauvola: {'window': 75, 'k': 0.2}
Wolf: {'window': 75, 'k': 0.2}
WAN: {'window': 75, 'k': 0.2}
Su: {'window': 0 (based on stroke size),
'minN': windowSize (roughly based on size of window)}

(window/glyph sizes are in px, threshold/limits in uint8 [0,255])
```
