OCRopus documentation?

Question

Is there a documentation for ocropus?

I am looking for an explanation for the functions like:

make_SegmentPageByRAST():
segment()

RegionExtractor():
setPageLines()
extract()

Thank you.

A requirement of Lua API for OCRopus has been filed in the bug-tracker list of the project.

They will soon be releasing this documentation in the next beta release(expected).

First, note that you can use the command line tools without actual Lua programming.

A good place to see how to use ocroscript is to look at the test cases in ocroscript/tests and the command line driver scripts in ocroscript/scripts.

Note: The Lua bindings follow the C++ API very closely (the binding is mostly automatic), so C++ and Lua documentation are pretty much the same problem.
