## **超轻量级中文OCR体验**

上图是超轻量级中文OCR模型效果展示，更多效果图请见文末[效果展示](#效果展示)。

#### 1.环境配置

请先参考[快速安装](./doc/installation.md)配置PaddleOCR运行环境。

#### 2.模型下载

```
# 下载inference模型文件包
wget https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/inference.tar
# inference模型文件包解压
tar -xf inference.tar
```

#### 3.单张图像或者图像集合预测

以下代码实现了文本检测、识别串联推理，在执行预测时，需要通过参数image_dir指定单张图像或者图像集合的路径、参数det_model_dir指定检测inference模型的路径和参数rec_model_dir指定识别inference模型的路径。可视化识别结果默认保存到 ./inference_results 文件夹里面。

```
# 设置PYTHONPATH环境变量
export PYTHONPATH=.

# 预测image_dir指定的单张图像
python3 tools/infer/predict_system.py --image_dir="./doc/imgs/11.jpg" --det_model_dir="./inference/det/"  --rec_model_dir="./inference/rec/"

# 预测image_dir指定的图像集合
python3 tools/infer/predict_system.py --image_dir="./doc/imgs/" --det_model_dir="./inference/det/"  --rec_model_dir="./inference/rec/"

# 如果想使用CPU进行预测，执行命令如下
python3 tools/infer/predict_system.py --image_dir="./doc/imgs/11.jpg" --det_model_dir="./inference/det/"  --rec_model_dir="./inference/rec/" --use_gpu=False
```
更多的文本检测、识别串联推理使用方式请参考文档教程中[基于预测引擎推理](./doc/inference.md)。
