How to get contour on specific text on a image using EasyOCR in python

Python
1

I am using Easyocr to get the contours of specific text from the image.

Input image:
Capture

my code:

image = cv2.imread(img_path+'\\'+str(img))
    
reader = Reader(['en'])
results = reader.readtext(image)
word = 'Varanasi'
for (bbox, text, prob) in results:
    if len(nltk.word_tokenize(text)) > 5:
       pass
   else:
       if word in text:
            # unpack the bounding box
            (tl, tr, br, bl) = bbox
            tl = (int(tl[0]), int(tl[1]))
            tr = (int(tr[0]), int(tr[1]))
            br = (int(br[0]), int(br[1]))
            bl = (int(bl[0]), int(bl[1]))
            # cleanup the text and draw the box surrounding the text along
            # with the OCR'd text itself
            #   text = cleanup_text(text)
            cv2.rectangle(image, tl, br, (0, 255, 0), 2)
            cv2.putText(image, text, (tl[0], tl[1] - 10),
            cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.7, (0, 255, 0), 2)
       else:
           pass

I want to get the contour area only on ‘Varanasi’. Is there any way to adjust the space between two consecutive text or what can i do to get this done.

No, you are not using OpenCV to get the contours. You are using EasyOCR for that.

this requires working with EasyOCR APIs.

you could split the string and guess the bounding boxes.

in any case, it’s not a problem with OpenCV.
