# GenSeg-JP
GenSeg-JP is a robust and efficient tool for performing OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and advanced segmentation of text (with a focus on Japanese text). This repository demonstrates how to read images, identify characters using EasyOCR, segment them using specialized algorithms, and organize the extracted data in a convenient structure.
The initial implementation focuses on splitting and segmenting Japanese text from images, but the modular architecture allows for potential expansion to handle various forms of text recognition and processing tasks.
## Skills and Technologies Used
- **Python**
- **OpenCV**
- **NumPy**
- **Matplotlib**
- **scikit-image**
- **EasyOCR**
## Getting Started
Below are the essential steps and repository clones to get the project up and running:
1. **Clone the DocRes Repository**
```bash
cd DocRes
git clone git@github.com:ZZZHANG-jx/DocRes.git
```
2. **Clone the EasyOCR Repository**
```bash
cd EasyOCR
git clone git@github.com:JaidedAI/EasyOCR.git
```
3. **Set up a Python Virtual Environment and Install Dependencies**
```bash
python -m venv JapanesePrintWrite
./JapanesePrintWrite/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
A comprehensive guide on additional usage, customizing the segmentation pipeline, and detailed explanations of each module will be provided soon.
## Contributing
Contributions, issues, and feature requests are welcome. If you are interested in enhancing the capabilities of **GenSeg-JP** or have discovered any bugs, please open an issue in this repository.

### Project Structure
Below is a brief overview of the key files in this repository:
- **`start.py`**
Main entry point. Generates unique job numbers, reads the input image, runs OCR, and archives output (including inpainted base images, raw cropped images, and cleaned binarized images).
- **`OHTR.py`**
Contains advanced segmentation and text recognition algorithms. Uses morphological operations, skeletonization, Voronoi diagrams, and other image processing techniques to split text accurately.
This workflow can be extended or modified to suit various text recognition and segmentation tasks, especially those focusing on printed Japanese text.
