Extracting the text from speech bubbles from manga

A page can be translated by running the below commamd

python easyocr_translate.py --img_path IMG_PATH --out_path OUT_PATH

Its a work in progress, the quality of cleaning and translation is very poor

Sample Output

After training the efficientdet for 3 epochs on the Manga109 dataset

Google translation with easyocr

Credits

I am using the scripts in src folder from signatrix implementation of efficientdet which is available here
I also used the manga109api to save time on parsing the manga109 dataset

To do

• Enhancing the text containing parts of the image using morphological operations for improving the OCR's performance
• Improve Cleaning
• Improve text placement
