error msg "No image suitable for OCR" is too vague #21

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Every document I receive from a particular source is deemed "unsuitable" by ocrodjvu and results in a session that looks like this:

$ ocrodjvu --debug --engine=tesseract -l eng --in-place document.djvu Processing 'document.djvu':

The same error results if cuneiform is the engine, so apparently the error is not coming from the engine. Is ocrdjvu enforcing a certain image property, such as DPI? I see no image requirements in the manpage, so certainly It would be useful if the error message would list the requirements, and ideally indicate the unmet ones.

Thanks for the bug report.

Yes, the warning comes from ocrodjvu itself. I agree that the message is rather obscure.

By default, ocrodjvu passes only page's mask to the OCR engine. (See the --render option in the manpage.) The warning is emitted if there was no mask at all for this page.
