OCR in Ubuntu

A working solution to recognize a couple of pages scanned text (or photos with text) in Ubuntu 20: # install tesseract sudo apt install tesseract-ocr # find module with the language you need apt-cache search tesseract-ocr # Let's say we need german. Then we install sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-deu # Install GUI tool sudo apt install ocrfeeder The interface is relatively simple. It may require setting the default language in the settings....

Digital color representation

Representation of color is messed up. Here are some articles about terminology. Merging Computing with Studio Video: Converting Between R’G’B’ and 4:2:2 / pdf by Charles Poynton Upon conversion from 8-bit R’G’B’ to 8-bit Y’CBCR, three-quarters of the available colors are lost. Upon 4:2:2 subsampling, half the color detail is discarded. YUV and luminance considered harmful / pdf by Charles Poynton It was standardized for NTSC in 1953, and remains standard for all contemporary video systems, to form luma, denoted Y’, as a weighted sum of nonlinear (gamma-corrected) R’G’B’ components....

Image processing cheat sheet

In ImageMagick: convert save the result to a given (new) file mogrify is the same as convert but it performs processing inplace (the input files are overwritten) Strip metadata from jpg file: mogrify -strip f.jpg Rotate according the metadata, then strip: mogrify -auto-orient -strip f.jpg Find jpg and jpeg images, apply orientation from EXIF, remove metadata and resize to 1920 on the longest side preserving the aspect ratio and save to the same files:...

IDE for Rust

I started to learn rust, and I needed to set up some IDE to handle my exercises. It seems that VScode has pretty good support for Rust. How to set up VS code to work with rust, including debugging. Install rust-analyzer extension and vscode-lldb extension: code --install-extension matklad.rust-analyzer code --install-extension vadimcn.vscode-lldb rust-analyzer provides a nice UI for running binaries and tests: Also it gives a lot of hints: Note that rust-analyzer doesn’t work together with Rust extension (Rust for Visual Studio Code)....

Graph algorithms

Shortest path problem Dijkstra’s algorithm fixes a single node as the “source” node and finds shortest paths from the source to all other nodes in the graph, producing a shortest-path tree. Wiki Dijkstra’s algorithm Complexity analysis Wiki On stack overflow: Why does Dijkstra’s algorithm use decrease-key? Actually Implementing Dijkstra’s Algorithm - complexity analysis considering three components of the main loop: time per insert, extract_min, and change_priority operation: O(nT_ins + nT_min + m*T_change)...

Data Structures And Algorithms in Python

Data strucures Sources: https://wiki.python.org/moin/TimeComplexity https://www.ics.uci.edu/~pattis/ICS-33/lectures/complexitypython.txt n is the number of elements in the container. k is either the value of a parameter, or the number of elements in the parameter. list It is actually an array (implemented as an array). Operation Average Case Amortized Worst Case Note Copy O(n) O(n) Append O(1) O(1) If the array grows beyond the allocated space it must be copied. In the worst case O(n) Pop last O(1) O(1) Pop intermediate O(n) O(n) Popping the intermediate element requires shifting all elements after k by one slot to the left using memmove....
