Adding New Fonts to Tesseract 3
Issue 1327 in tesseract-ocr: unicharset_extractor statement doesn´t work
What I'm doing
I am currently trying to train my tesseract-ocr to recognise custom numbers.
What I've done
I originally installed tesseract using Homebrew, which installed tesseract, leptonica, and other dependencies to /usr/local/Cellar. I used this guide to help me train the data. Like the guide instructed, I first generated a set of .tif files in the format of tla.test_font.exp[num].tif. Then I generated the .box files using this script:
for i in `seq 0 52`;
do
tesseract tla.test_font.exp$i.tif tla.test_font.exp$i -l eng -psm 10 batch.nochop makebox
done
Then I ran the .box files through tesseract using:
for i in `seq 0 52`;
do
tesseract tla.test_font.exp$i.tif tla.test_font.exp$i -l eng -psm 10 nobatch box.train
done
Then I tried to run unicharset_extractor *.box and I received the error message above.
Suspecting it has something to do with my tesseract install path, and not wanting to mess things even more using symlink, I then uninstalled tesseract, libtool and leptonica from usr/local/Cellar, and used MacPorts to install everything again. This time in /opt/local/bin. After repeating the same steps mentioned above, I got stuck on the same issue. I even tried running man unicharset_extractor and the man page worked perfectly.

While installing tesseract you haven't installed the training tools. Now you will have to uninstall tesseract using the following command
brew uninstall tesseract
and then install the tools using
brew install --with-training-tools tesseract
After this you should be able to run unicharset_extractor command.
Thanks

Try the commands and steps as specified in https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Compiling.html. Following those steps resolved my issue.

Tex error occurred while upgrading octave with brew

I first installed octave through brew with the instruction on the office website. One day when I entered brew update && brew upgrade, octave started to upgrade but one error occurred said
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your
PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use this
script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help
output for more details.
So I entered brew cask install mactex to install tex and added the Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin to the PATH, when I run tex, it correctly processed:
terminal screenshot
Then I run brew upgrade but the same error occurred again.
I realized that the --without-docs argument may fix this problem but if I want to install docs (since I have already installed tex) what should I do?
I had similar problem while installing another program (not octave) and after looking around I found that I needed to install TeTex (http://www.tug.org/teTeX/) or TexLive, however I decided to install TexLive because TeTex is not mantained anymore...
For me it worked after installing Texlive on the basic configuration. You can follow the instructions over here:

unicharset_extractor: command not found

I want create new train data using tesseract. So follow step which mentioned in below website.
https://blog.cedric.ws/how-to-train-tesseract-301
I got below error while i execute Unicharset in OS X terminal.
Command:
unicharset_extractor eng.micrtest.exp.box
Error:
-bash: unicharset_extractor: command not found
I have using below software versions
OS: OSX EI caption 10.11.1
tesseract 3.04.01
leptonica-1.72
libjpeg 8d : libpng 1.6.21 : libtiff 4.0.6 : lib 1.2.5
is this possible to execute unchaste_extractor command in OSx?
Thanks in advance.
Problem is "Unicharset_extractor" not install in your system. So please install tesseract training tools
INSTALL TRAINING TOOL
brew install --with-training-tools tesseract
Please uninstall tesseract if you already installed it.
UNINSTALL TESSERACT
brew uninstall tesseract
NOTE: please read logs while install training tools and follow the steps which mentioned in logs.
It’ll take some more time to install the training tool so you’ll never quiet the terminal meantime.
Please install Homebrew before work out above command.
You will need to build Tesseract training executables; they are separate from the regular Tesseract executable.

Installing Caffe (deep learning) issues

I have been able to install Caffe but I had a lot of issues and that's because I didn't follow the instructions very well.
I have a Mac OSx and I'm reading the OSx guide for installation.
In this point:
when I type hdf5 opencv I get:
"hdf5: command not found"
I've tried to install hdf5 by Homebrew and MacPorts but I'm still getting:
"hdf5: command not found"
Does anyone have any clue?
Thank you very much.
according to the answer of #mattias, my binaries in /usr/local/hdf5 are:
hdf5 is not a command or anything else. The documentation is just bad, it has to be:
brew tap homebrew/science hdf5 opencv
So, what I mean is, we have to install hdf5 and then link it to Caffe. But executing hdf5 is not what the guide meant.
You can install hdf5 from source. I just tested on OS X 10.9.5.
wget http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.14.tar
Unpack,
tar zxfv hdf5-1.8.14.tar
Enter directory
cd hdf5-1.8.14
And then,
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 # or where you want it
make
sudo make install
Then you have it installed in /usr/local/hdf5.
Good luck!

Installing openCV 2.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

I'm trying to install openCV 2.4.2 (not the newest version but stable version compatible with newer OS X according to several sources) on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I have tried installing from source and using homebrew but neither works. I get the following error when I try installing it:
build Marieke$ make

I don't know how to solve this and I have tried several things already (I do now have newest versions of Xcode, cmake, ffmpeg, faac, faad, qt, ...) so if anybody can help me, that would be much appreciated, thanks!
Run the following commands assuming you have brew installed.
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install opencv
Use macports. Once you install macports, just run
sudo port install opencv
at the command prompt.
This other stackoverflow question is mostly correct for how to start using the macports version of opencv in Xcode.
Here are some more up-to-date instructions for using the macports version of OpenCV from Xcode 5:
Create a new Xcode project as OS X Application -> Command Line Tool, etc.
Click the target in the upper left
Click the Build Settings tab
Scroll down to (or search for) the Search Paths section
Under User Header Search Paths add /opt/local/include
Click the Build Phases tab
Click Link Binary with Libraries
Choose the required libraries from /opt/local/lib
At least, add libopencv_core.dylib
If you want pre-set command-line arguments, go to Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme (⌘<)
Click the Run tab on the left
Click the Arguments tab
Enter arguments into Arguments Passed on Launch
Done!
You can try to install opencv from homebrew, I met the same problem with cmake in my 10.9 and finally I found the solution from Chris Muktar. Here are the steps:
Make sure xcode-select --install Xcode command line tools 5.0.1 are installed.
Install python using brew - brew install python.
pip update
pip install numpy
brew linkapps
Add export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.6.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH to .bash_profile in your home directory
brew install opencv
In the last step I came across the Error: No available formula for opencv. In this case, you should first run the command brew tap homebrew/science.
Good Luck
This may be related to the current issues with Qt on Mavericks.
See: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/23793
I'd try installing the current patched homebrew keg for qt, and then installing opencv:
brew update
brew uninstall opencv
brew uninstall qt
brew install -v https://raw.github.com/cliffrowley/homebrew/patched_qt/Library/Formula/qt.rb --HEAD
brew install opencv
Caution to the wind: the qt build took me about an hour to complete
Thanks for the answers!
I ended up with the following solution: I added #define GTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE 1 to ts_gtest.h. Probably not the prettiest solution but I don't need gtest for anything else so it works for me.
You could disable ts module in CMakeCache.txt file:
//Include opencv_ts module into the OpenCV build
BUILD_opencv_ts:BOOL=OFF
I mean that there is no reason to modify existing code.
I think you really need to do a configuration and that is it.
I tried your problems and I think steps are as follow:
open terminal in mac
in the terminal, check you have cmake and ccmake. If not, please type "brew install cmake"
go to your downloaded opencv folder, make a new folder by typing "mkdir build", then "cd build"
in this build folder, check you have gcc and g++ installed.
now, doing configuration by type "ccmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++", type "c" first for configuration then exit by "e" then "g" for generating!
you should be in terminal again now! then please type "make"
type "sudo make install", and now the opencv is installed, check it by type "brew list", and you should see the opencv there
type "brew linkapps"
do a test if you have python, by typing "import cv", and it should be working!

tesseract install mac os

I am trying to install tesseract on my mac using homeBrew. When I try installing, everything seems to be good but I get the following error/message:
Warning: Could not link leptonica. Unlinking...
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link leptonica'
When I try running a tesseract function, I get the following error:
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v3.02.02 with Leptonica
Error in pixReadStreamPng: function not present
Error in pixReadStream: png: no pix returned
Error in pixRead: pix not read
Unsupported image type.
I have image magick installed and the command I used to install tesseract was:
brew install tesseract
Can anyone please tell me what I can do to get tesseract working? Thank you!
EDIT
When I run brew link leptonica, I get the following error:
Could not symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar/leptonica/1.69/bin/yuvtest
Target /usr/local/bin/yuvtest already exists. You may need to delete it.
Now, as of September 2019, there are no longer any optional install flags available
brew options tesseract
yield nothing. But,
brew info tesseract
yields the following key info:
This formula contains only the "eng", "osd", and "snum" language data files.
If you need all the other supported languages, `brew install tesseract-lang`.
Therefore, to get all of the languages installed, you need to now install a separate library called tesseract-lang.
Updated installation:
brew install tesseract
brew install tesseract-lang
Hope this helps.
old in case this is useful:
Now, as of January 2019, Tesseract installs fine via homebrew, as long as you have xquartz installed first, brew cask install xquartz. Then you can do the following: brew install tesseract --with-all-languages --with-serial-num-pack --with-training-tools
After installing / removing and re-installing tesseract i found the solution for the same problem you have. On your terminal logs, while installing tesseract, you will see:
Error: The brew link step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/convertfilestopdf
Target /usr/local/bin/convertfilestopdf
already exists.
You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/convertfilestopdf'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite leptonica
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run leptonica
What i did was running: brew link --overwrite leptonica
"Linking /usr/local/Cellar/leptonica/1.71_1... 45 symlinks created"
Everything should work perfectly.
Hope this can be a help for you
It sounds a bit silly, but have you tried deleting yuvtest? I just tried it myself - the file is automatically generated by brew link leptonica. As for why it isn't working, is it possible you had some version of leptonica/tesseract installed previously? Another reasonable guess at a fix would be
brew uninstall tesseract; brew install tesseract
So far as I know, image magick being installed shouldn't matter for tesseract. They don't have anything in common.
Tesseract is now dependent on Leptonica being installed.
The error messages you are seeing relate to these files:
Leptonica is configured to handle image I/O using these external libraries: libjpeg, libtiff, libpng, libz, libgif, libwebp.
These libraries are easy to obtain. For example, using the debian package manager:
sudo apt-get install
where = {libpng12-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libtiff4-dev}.
Source: Leptonica unofficial documentation
I found that homebrew would install some but not all of the libraries.
