text detection example #34

Open engineerchange opened 3 years ago

engineerchange commented 3 years ago

Thank you for porting over this wonderful package!

I wanted to gauge what text detection features are available, namely localization and what options are available. A quick search for "text localization" on r-bloggers.com comes up with next to nothing, so I do think this is a needed functionality in the community.

I don't see any examples in the vignettes. I do see #17, however - are there any plans for further documentation/addition of opencv's text-based features into this R implementation?

Text detection is a huge field. Maybe this is what you are looking for https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/image.textlinedetector/index.html https://github.com/DIGI-VUB/image.textlinedetector

Thanks, this other package is interesting. Both this package and the package you linked have an unclear license/copyright. Can you expand on what license(s) these fall under? Since this is a port of opencv, shouldn't this package have a FOSS license?

Okay, thank you! The "license" link on the GitHub page says something different: https://github.com/ropensci/opencv/blob/master/LICENSE
