On the website where I screenshoted the image the numbers will change continuously.
What I'm trying to do is to read the image text(which is numbers, dot and X on the image) using Tesseract, tess4j java.
The problem is I'm getting inconsistent results, sometimes I get letters sometimes letters with numbers.
After I blacklisted letters excerpts the letter X and special character . I now get 4.0 if I'm not getting the correct results from the picture.
I added a code below to GrayScale the image but still I'm getting the same inconsistent results.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class GrayScalingImage {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
try {
File inputImage = new File("image.jpg"); BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(inputImage);
for(int i=0; i<image.getHeight(); i++) {
for(int j=0; j<image.getWidth(); j++) {
Color color = new Color(image.getRGB(j, i));
int red = (int)(color.getRed() * 0.299);
int green = (int)(color.getGreen() * 0.587);
int blue = (int)(color.getBlue() * 0.114);
Color newColor = new Color(red+green+blue, red+green+blue,red+green+blue);
image.setRGB(j, i, newColor.getRGB());
}
}
File ouptut = new File("newImage.jpg"); ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", ouptut);
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
