## Installation

Python versions `3.7-3.10` are currently supported.

You can either install via 

```
pip install sbb-binarization
```

or clone the repository, enter it and install (editable) with

```
git clone git@github.com:qurator-spk/sbb_binarization.git
cd sbb_binarization; pip install -e .
```

### Models

Pre-trained models can be downloaded from the locations below. We also provide the models and [model card](https://huggingface.co/SBB/sbb_binarization) on 🤗 

| Version   |      Format      |  Download |

With [OCR-D](https://ocr-d.de/), you can use the [Resource Manager](https://ocr-d.de/en/models) to deploy models, e.g.

    ocrd resmgr download ocrd-sbb-binarize "*"


## Usage

```sh
sbb_binarize \
  -m <path to directory containing model files> \
  <input image> \
  <output image>
```

**Note:** the output image MUST use either `.tif` or `.png` as file extension to produce a binary image. Input images can also be JPEG.

Images containing a lot of border noise (black pixels) should be cropped beforehand to improve the quality of results.

### Example


    sbb_binarize -m /path/to/model/ myimage.tif myimage-bin.tif


To use the [OCR-D](https://ocr-d.de/en/spec/cli) interface:

    ocrd-sbb-binarize -I INPUT_FILE_GRP -O OCR-D-IMG-BIN -P model default


## Testing

For simple smoke tests, the following will
- download models
- download test data
- run the OCR-D wrapper (on page and region level):
    
        make models
        make test
