What are configs and how can I have more?
Config is an overloaded word in tesseract. One meaning is a file of control parameters used for debugging or modifying its behaviour, such as tessdata/configs/segdemo. The other meaning is used in training and in the classifier: A config represents a (potentially) different shape of a character from a different font. The MAX_NUM_CONFIGS limit applies to the number of different files on the command line of mftraiing containing samples of any one character, as each file is assumed to represent a different font. There is currently (2.03) a limit of 32 configs. You can get away with more than 32 files on the mftraining command line if not all the files contain all the characters. Other ways to fix the problem: If files contain very similar looking samples, then you can cat them together to make a single file to reduce the total number of files. DON’T do this if the characters in two files look very different. Increase MAX_NUM_CONFIGS (in classify/intproto.h) There are consequences. You wil
