Extract text from image using Pytesseract in windows platform

For windows Os, we need an installation. Pytesseract binary is available here. Then Add a new variable with name tesseract in environment variables with value C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe. 

Then we need to install a python package: pip install tesseract 

Some cases we need the following line of code (if the environment variable is not added correctly) 

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'

Here we provide the Pytesseract path to the interpreter.

surf = cv2.xfeatures2d.SURF_create()
 
orb = cv2.ORB_create(nfeatures=1500)
# here None is for non-masking
keypoints1, descriptors1 = orb.detectAndCompute(img, None)
keypoints2, descriptors2 = sift.detectAndCompute(img, None)
keypoints3, descriptors3 = surf.detectAndCompute(img, None)
 
imgOrb  = cv2.drawKeypoints(img, keypoints1, None)
imgSift = cv2.drawKeypoints(img, keypoints2, None)
imgSurf = cv2.drawKeypoints(img, keypoints3, None)


cv2.imshow("Orb", cv2.resize(imgOrb,(700,500)) )
cv2.imshow("Sift", cv2.resize(imgSift,(700,500)) )
