Quick Start

Installation

  1. PaddlePaddle

Please refer to the following commands to install PaddlePaddle using pip:

Read the full model card
# 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.

  1. PaddleOCR

Install the latest version of the PaddleOCR inference package from PyPI:

python -m pip install paddleocr

Model Usage

You can quickly experience the functionality with a single command:

paddleocr text_detection \
    --model_name PP-OCRv4_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-OCRv4_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, 1432],
        ...,
        [ 637, 1454]],

       ...,

       [[ 356,  107],
        ...,
        [ 356,  130]]], dtype=int16), 'dt_scores': [0.8305358711080322, 0.6912752452425651, ..., 0.848925772091929]}}

Pipeline Usage

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.

PP-OCRv4

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:

  • Document Image Orientation Classification Module (Optional)
  • Text Image Unwarping Module (Optional)
  • Text Line Orientation Classification Module (Optional)
  • Text Detection Module
  • Text Recognition Module

Run a single command to quickly experience the OCR pipeline:

paddleocr ocr -i https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/681c1ecd9539bdde5ae1733c/3ul2Rq4Sk5Cn-l69D695U.png \
    --text_detection_model_name PP-OCRv4_mobile_det \
    --text_recognition_model_name PP-OCRv4_mobile_rec \
    --use_doc_orientation_classify False \
    --use_doc_unwarping False \
    --use_textline_orientation False \
    --save_path ./output \
    --device gpu:0

Results are printed to the terminal:

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys pp-ocrv4-mobile-det for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (pp-ocrv4-mobile-det below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
