FAQ](#3) This chapter introduces the C++ deployment steps of the PaddleOCR model. C++ is better than Python in terms of performance. Therefore, in CPU and GPU deployment scenarios, C++ deployment is mostly used. This section will introduce how to configure the C++ environment and deploy PaddleOCR in Linux (CPU\GPU) environment. For Windows deployment please refer to [Windows](./docs/windows_vs2019_build.md) compilation guidelines. ## 1. Prepare the Environment ### 1.1 Environment - Linux, docker is recommended. - Windows. ### 1.2 Compile OpenCV * First of all, you need to download the source code compiled package in the Linux environment from the OpenCV official website. Taking OpenCV 3.4.7 as an example, the download command is as follows. ```bash cd deploy/cpp_infer wget https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/libs/opencv/opencv-3.4.7.tar.gz tar -xf opencv-3.4.7.tar.gz ``` Finally, you will see the folder of `opencv-3.4.7/` in the current directory. * Compile OpenCV, the OpenCV source path (`root_path`) and installation path (`install_path`) should be set by yourself. Enter the OpenCV source code path and compile it in the following way. ```shell root_path=your_opencv_root_path install_path=${root_path}/opencv3 rm -rf build mkdir build cd build cmake .. \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${install_path} \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \ -DWITH_IPP=OFF \ -DBUILD_IPP_IW=OFF \ -DWITH_LAPACK=OFF \ -DWITH_EIGEN=OFF \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib64 \ -DWITH_ZLIB=ON \ -DBUILD_ZLIB=ON \ -DWITH_JPEG=ON \ -DBUILD_JPEG=ON \ -DWITH_PNG=ON \ -DBUILD_PNG=ON \ -DWITH_TIFF=ON \ -DBUILD_TIFF=ON make -j make install ``` In the above commands, `root_path` is the downloaded OpenCV source code path, and `install_path` is the installation path of OpenCV. After `make install` is completed, the OpenCV header file and library file will be generated in this folder for later OCR source code compilation. The final file structure under the OpenCV installation path is as follows. ``` opencv3/ |-- bin |-- include |-- lib |-- lib64 |-- share ``` ### 1.3 Compile or Download or the Paddle Inference Library * There are 2 ways to obtain the Paddle inference library, described in detail below. #### 1.3.1 Direct download and installation [Paddle inference library official website](https://paddleinference.paddlepaddle.org.cn/user_guides/download_lib.html#linux). You can review and select the appropriate version of the inference library on the official website. * After downloading, use the following command to extract files. ``` tar -xf paddle_inference.tgz ``` Finally you will see the folder of `paddle_inference/` in the current path. #### 1.3.2 Compile the inference source code * If you want to get the latest Paddle inference library features, you can download the latest code from Paddle GitHub repository and compile the inference library from the source code. It is recommended to download the inference library with paddle version greater than or equal to 2.0.1. * You can refer to [Paddle inference library] (https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/advanced_guide/inference_deployment/inference/build_and_install_lib_en.html) to get the Paddle source code from GitHub, and then compile To generate the latest inference library. The method of using git to access the code is as follows. ```shell git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git git checkout develop ``` * Enter the Paddle directory and run the following commands to compile the paddle inference library. ```shell rm -rf build mkdir build cd build cmake .. \ -DWITH_CONTRIB=OFF \ -DWITH_MKL=ON \ -DWITH_MKLDNN=ON \ -DWITH_TESTING=OFF \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DWITH_INFERENCE_API_TEST=OFF \ -DON_INFER=ON \ -DWITH_PYTHON=ON make -j make inference_lib_dist ``` For more compilation parameter options, please refer to the [document](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/zh/2.0/guides/05_inference_deployment/inference/build_and_install_lib_cn.html#congyuanmabianyi). * After the compilation process, you can see the following files in the folder of `build/paddle_inference_install_dir/`. ``` build/paddle_inference_install_dir/ |-- CMakeCache.txt |-- paddle |-- third_party |-- version.txt ``` `paddle` is the Paddle library required for C++ prediction later, and `version.txt` contains the version information of the current inference library. ## 2. Compile and Run the Demo ### 2.1 Export the inference model * You can refer to [Model inference](../../doc/doc_en/inference_en.md) and export the inference model. After the model is exported, assuming it is placed in the `inference` directory, the directory structure is as follows. ``` inference/ |-- det_db | |--inference.pdiparams | |--inference.pdmodel |-- rec_rcnn | |--inference.pdiparams | |--inference.pdmodel |-- cls | |--inference.pdiparams | |--inference.pdmodel |-- table | |--inference.pdiparams | |--inference.pdmodel ``` ### 2.2 Compile PaddleOCR C++ inference demo * The compilation commands are as follows. The addresses of Paddle C++ inference library, opencv and other Dependencies need to be replaced with the actual addresses on your own machines. ```shell sh tools/build.sh ``` Specifically, you should modify the paths in `tools/build.sh`. The related content is as follows. ```shell OPENCV_DIR=your_opencv_dir LIB_DIR=your_paddle_inference_dir CUDA_LIB_DIR=your_cuda_lib_dir CUDNN_LIB_DIR=your_cudnn_lib_dir ``` `OPENCV_DIR` is the OpenCV installation path; `LIB_DIR` is the download (`paddle_inference` folder) or the generated Paddle inference library path (`build/paddle_inference_install_dir` folder); `CUDA_LIB_DIR` is the CUDA library file path, in docker; it is `/usr/local/cuda/lib64`; `CUDNN_LIB_DIR` is the cuDNN library file path, in docker it is `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/`. * After the compilation is completed, an executable file named `ppocr` will be generated in the `build` folder. ### 2.3 Run the demo Execute the built executable file: ```shell ./build/ppocr [--param1] [--param2] [...] ``` **Note**:ppocr uses the `PP-OCRv3` model by default, and the input shape used by the recognition model is `3, 48, 320`, if you want to use the old version model, you should add the parameter `--rec_img_h=32`. Specifically, ##### 1. det+cls+rec: ```shell ./build/ppocr --det_model_dir=inference/det_db \ --rec_model_dir=inference/rec_rcnn \ --cls_model_dir=inference/cls \ --image_dir=../../doc/imgs/12.jpg \ --use_angle_cls=true \ --det=true \ --rec=true \ --cls=true \ ``` ##### 2. det+rec: ```shell ./build/ppocr --det_model_dir=inference/det_db \ --rec_model_dir=inference/rec_rcnn \ --image_dir=../../doc/imgs/12.jpg \ --use_angle_cls=false \ --det=true \ --rec=true \ --cls=false \ ``` ##### 3. det ```shell ./build/ppocr --det_model_dir=inference/det_db \ --image_dir=../../doc/imgs/12.jpg \ --det=true \ --rec=false ``` ##### 4. cls+rec: ```shell ./build/ppocr --rec_model_dir=inference/rec_rcnn \ --cls_model_dir=inference/cls \ --image_dir=../../doc/imgs_words/ch/word_1.jpg \ --use_angle_cls=true \ --det=false \ --rec=true \ --cls=true \ ``` ##### 5. rec ```shell ./build/ppocr --rec_model_dir=inference/rec_rcnn \ --image_dir=../../doc/imgs_words/ch/word_1.jpg \ --use_angle_cls=false \ --det=false \ --rec=true \ --cls=false \ ``` ##### 6. cls ```shell ./build/ppocr --cls_model_dir=inference/cls \ --cls_model_dir=inference/cls \ --image_dir=../../doc/imgs_words/ch/word_1.jpg \ --use_angle_cls=true \ --det=false \ --rec=false \ --cls=true \ ``` ##### 7. table ```shell ./build/ppocr --det_model_dir=inference/det_db \ --rec_model_dir=inference/rec_rcnn \ --table_model_dir=inference/table \ --image_dir=../../ppstructure/docs/table/table.jpg \ --type=structure \ --table=true ``` More parameters are as follows, - Common parameters |parameter|data type|default|meaning| | --- | --- | --- | --- | |use_gpu|bool|false|Whether to use GPU| |gpu_id|int|0|GPU id when use_gpu is true| |gpu_mem|int|4000|GPU memory requested| |cpu_math_library_num_threads|int|10|Number of threads when using CPU inference.
