              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or

              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

:warning: Development is focused on achieving the best quality of results for a wide variety of historical 
documents and therefore processing can be very slow. We aim to improve this, but contributions are welcome.

## Installation

Python `3.8-3.11` with Tensorflow `<2.13` on Linux are currently supported.

For (limited) GPU support the CUDA toolkit needs to be installed. A known working config is CUDA `11` with cuDNN `8.6`.

You can either install from PyPI

```
pip install eynollah
```

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

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

Alternatively, you can run `make install` or `make install-dev` for editable installation.

To also install the dependencies for the OCR engines:

```
pip install "eynollah[OCR]"
# or
make install EXTRAS=OCR
```

## Models

Pretrained models can be downloaded from [zenodo](https://zenodo.org/records/17194824) or [huggingface](https://huggingface.co/SBB?search_models=eynollah). 

For documentation on models, have a look at [`models.md`](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah/tree/main/docs/models.md). 
Model cards are also provided for our trained models.

## Training

In case you want to train your own model with Eynollah, see the
documentation in [`train.md`](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah/tree/main/docs/train.md) and use the
tools in the [`train` folder](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah/tree/main/train).

## Usage

Eynollah supports five use cases: layout analysis (segmentation), binarization,
image enhancement, text recognition (OCR), and reading order detection.

### Layout Analysis

The layout analysis module is responsible for detecting layout elements, identifying text lines, and determining reading 
order using either heuristic methods or a [pretrained reading order detection model](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah#machine-based-reading-order). 

Reading order detection can be performed either as part of layout analysis based on image input, or, currently under 
development, based on pre-existing layout analysis results in PAGE-XML format as input.

The command-line interface for layout analysis can be called like this:

```sh
eynollah layout \
  -i <single image file> | -di <directory containing image files> \
  -o <output directory> \
  -m <directory containing model files> \
     [OPTIONS]
```

The following options can be used to further configure the processing:

| option            | description                                                                    |
|-------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-fl`             | full layout analysis including all steps and segmentation classes              |
| `-light`          | lighter and faster but simpler method for main region detection and deskewing  |
| `-tll`            | this indicates the light textline and should be passed with light version      |
| `-tab`            | apply table detection                                                          |
| `-ae`             | apply enhancement (the resulting image is saved to the output directory)       |
| `-as`             | apply scaling                                                                  |
| `-cl`             | apply contour detection for curved text lines instead of bounding boxes        |
| `-ib`             | apply binarization (the resulting image is saved to the output directory)      |
| `-ep`             | enable plotting (MUST always be used with `-sl`, `-sd`, `-sa`, `-si` or `-ae`) |
| `-eoi`            | extract only images to output directory (other processing will not be done)    |
| `-ho`             | ignore headers for reading order dectection                                    |
| `-si <directory>` | save image regions detected to this directory                                  |
| `-sd <directory>` | save deskewed image to this directory                                          |
| `-sl <directory>` | save layout prediction as plot to this directory                               |
| `-sp <directory>` | save cropped page image to this directory                                      |
| `-sa <directory>` | save all (plot, enhanced/binary image, layout) to this directory               |

If no further option is set, the tool performs layout detection of main regions (background, text, images, separators 
and marginals).
The best output quality is achieved when RGB images are used as input rather than greyscale or binarized images.

### Binarization

The binarization module performs document image binarization using pretrained pixelwise segmentation models. 

The command-line interface for binarization can be called like this:

```sh
eynollah binarization \
  -i <single image file> | -di <directory containing image files> \
  -o <output directory> \
  -m <directory containing model files> \
```

### OCR

The OCR module performs text recognition using either a CNN-RNN model or a Transformer model.

The command-line interface for OCR can be called like this:

```sh
eynollah ocr \
  -i <single image file> | -di <directory containing image files> \
  -dx <directory of xmls> \
  -o <output directory> \
  -m <directory containing model files> | --model_name <path to specific model> \
```

### Machine-based-reading-order

The machine-based reading-order module employs a pretrained model to identify the reading order from layouts represented in PAGE-XML files.

The command-line interface for machine based reading order can be called like this:

```sh
eynollah machine-based-reading-order \
  -i <single image file> | -di <directory containing image files> \
  -xml <xml file name> | -dx <directory containing xml files> \
  -m <path to directory containing model files> \
  -o <output directory> 
```

#### Use as OCR-D processor

Eynollah ships with a CLI interface to be used as [OCR-D](https://ocr-d.de) [processor](https://ocr-d.de/en/spec/cli),
formally described in [`ocrd-tool.json`](https://github.com/qurator-spk/eynollah/tree/main/src/eynollah/ocrd-tool.json).

In this case, the source image file group with (preferably) RGB images should be used as input like this:

    ocrd-eynollah-segment -I OCR-D-IMG -O OCR-D-SEG -P models eynollah_layout_v0_5_0

If the input file group is PAGE-XML (from a previous OCR-D workflow step), Eynollah behaves as follows:
- existing regions are kept and ignored (i.e. in effect they might overlap segments from Eynollah results)
- existing annotation (and respective `AlternativeImage`s) are partially _ignored_:
  - previous page frame detection (`cropped` images)
  - previous derotation (`deskewed` images)
  - previous thresholding (`binarized` images)
- if the page-level image nevertheless deviates from the original (`@imageFilename`)
  (because some other preprocessing step was in effect like `denoised`), then
  the output PAGE-XML will be based on that as new top-level (`@imageFilename`)

      ocrd-eynollah-segment -I OCR-D-XYZ -O OCR-D-SEG -P models eynollah_layout_v0_5_0

In general, it makes more sense to add other workflow steps **after** Eynollah.

There is also an OCR-D processor for binarization:
