How to Use OCR on Videos
Blog post from Roboflow
Leo Ueno's article explores the integration of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with computer vision for processing video content, illustrating its potential in applications like identifying multimodal shipping containers. Using tools such as EasyOCR and Supervision, the article details a method to run OCR on video frames, annotate the results, and track objects to improve efficiency by reducing redundant OCR operations. This approach leverages object detection models and tracking to link container IDs across video frames, enhancing accuracy through consensus logic. Ueno also highlights the potential benefits for yard management and invites readers to explore Roboflow's capabilities in setting up comprehensive computer vision systems.
