Namespace: Cognex.VisionPro.OCRMax
Assembly: Cognex.VisionPro.OCRMax (in Cognex.VisionPro.OCRMax.dll) Version: 65.1.0.0
Syntax

public CogOCRMaxClassifierLineResult Execute(
	IEnumerable<CogOCRMaxChar> characters,
	CogOCRMaxClassifierRunParams runParams,
	CogOCRMaxSwapCharSet swapCharSet
)

Parameters

characters
Type: System.Collections.Generic IEnumerable CogOCRMaxChar 
The characters to be classified.
runParams
Type: Cognex.VisionPro.OCRMax CogOCRMaxClassifierRunParams
The run params that specify how to perform classification.
swapCharSet
Type: Cognex.VisionPro.OCRMax CogOCRMaxSwapCharSet
The set of chracters which have been predetermined to be "swappable" (They appear similar and are hard to distinguish, e.g. '0' and 'O').

Return Value

Type: CogOCRMaxClassifierLineResult
Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
CogSecurityViolationException
CogOCRMaxClassifierParamsException Thrown if:
  • any character's image is not allocated
  • any character's cell rect is not specified
CogTimeoutExpiredException Thrown if the Timeout expired.
ArgumentNullException Thrown if characters is null. Thrown if runParams is null. Thrown if swapCharSet is null.
Remarks

Note that space characters are a special case. The OCRMax Classifier does not classify space characters. Instead the classifier input (cf. the segmenter output) is responsible for deciding if a particular character is a space. The classifier simply "passes through" space characters and their associated scores. Space characters are not assigned alternative characters, and the confidence score is set to be equal to the regular score in the classifier output.

If the input's CogOCRMaxChar.CharacterCode == 20 (space) the classifier will automatically classify the character as a space. The space character's score and confidence score will be set to the 1 in the classifier output.
