 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。

 The following code implements text detection and recognition inference tandemly. When performing prediction, you need to specify the path of a single image or image folder through the parameter `image_dir`, the parameter `det_model_dir` specifies the path to detection model, and the parameter `rec_model_dir` specifies the path to the recognition model. The visual prediction results are saved to the `./inference_results` folder by default.
