About
PP-OCRv3_mobile_det is one of the PP-OCRv3_det series models, a set of text detection models developed by the PaddleOCR team. This mobile-optimized text detection model offers higher efficiency, making it ideal for deployment on edge devices.
Please refer to the following commands to install PaddlePaddle using pip:
# for CUDA11.8
python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.0.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu118/
# for CUDA12.6
python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.0.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu126/
# for CPU
python -m pip install paddlepaddle==3.0.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cpu/
For details about PaddlePaddle installation, please refer to the PaddlePaddle official website.
Install the latest version of the PaddleOCR inference package from PyPI:
python -m pip install paddleocr
You can quickly experience the functionality with a single command:
paddleocr text_detection \
--model_name PP-OCRv3_mobile_det \
-i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/681c1ecd9539bdde5ae1733c/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png
You can also integrate the model inference of the text detection module into your project. Before running the following code, please download the sample image to your local machine.
from paddleocr import TextDetection
model = TextDetection(model_name="PP-OCRv3_mobile_det")
output = model.predict(input="3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png", batch_size=1)
for res in output:
res.print()
res.save_to_img(save_path="./output/")
res.save_to_json(save_path="./output/res.json")
After running, the obtained result is as follows:
{'res': {'input_path': '/root/.paddlex/predict_input/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png', 'page_index': None, 'dt_polys': array([[[ 637, 1429],
...,
[ 634, 1450]],
...,
[[ 356, 106],
...,
[ 356, 127]]], dtype=int16), 'dt_scores': [0.8440782190003071, 0.7211973560197601, ..., 0.9473868156887905]}}

The ability of a single model is limited. But the pipeline consists of several models can provide more capacity to resolve difficult problems in real-world scenarios.
The general OCR pipeline is used to solve text recognition tasks by extracting text information from images and outputting it in text form. And there are 5 modules in the pipeline:
Run a single command to quickly experience the OCR pipeline:
paddleocr ocr -i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/681c1ecd9539bdde5ae1733c/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png \

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys pp-ocrv3-mobile-det for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (pp-ocrv3-mobile-det below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"pp-ocrv3-mobile-det","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
