Method Detail

begin

public void begin()

Resets the iterator to point to the start of the page.

next

public boolean next(int level)

Moves to the start of the next object at the given level in the page hierarchy, and returns false if the end of the page was reached.

NOTE that TessBaseAPI.PageIteratorLevel.RIL_SYMBOL will skip non-text blocks, but all other TessBaseAPI.PageIteratorLevel level values will visit each non-text block once. Think of non text blocks as containing a single para, with a single line, with a single imaginary word.

Calls to next(int) with different levels may be freely intermixed.

This function iterates words in right-to-left scripts correctly, if the appropriate language has been loaded into Tesseract.

Parameters:

level - the page iterator level. See TessBaseAPI.PageIteratorLevel.

Returns:

false if the end of the page was reached, true otherwise.

getBoundingBox

public int[] getBoundingBox(int level)

Get bounding box: x, y, w, h ============= Accessing data ==============. Coordinate system: Integer coordinates are at the cracks between the pixels. The top-left corner of the top-left pixel in the image is at (0,0). The bottom-right corner of the bottom-right pixel in the image is at (width, height). Every bounding box goes from the top-left of the top-left contained pixel to the bottom-right of the bottom-right contained pixel, so the bounding box of the single top-left pixel in the image is: (0,0)->(1,1). If an image rectangle has been set in the API, then returned coordinates relate to the original (full) image, rather than the rectangle. Returns the bounding rectangle of the current object at the given level. See comment on coordinate system above. The returned bounding box may clip foreground pixels from a grey image.

Parameters:

level - the page iterator level. See TessBaseAPI.PageIteratorLevel.

Returns:

the bounding rectangle of the current object at the given level
