PyTorch throws OSError on Detectron2LayoutModel()

Question

I've been trying to read pdf pages as an image, for extraction purposes.

I found that layoutparser serves this purpose by identifying blocks of text. However, when I try to Create a Detectron2-based Layout Detection Model, I encounter the following error:

codeblock:

model = lp.Detectron2LayoutModel(
        config_path ='lp://PubLayNet/mask_rcnn_X_101_32x8d_FPN_3x/config', 
        label_map   = {0: "Text", 1: "Title", 2: "List", 3:"Table", 4:"Figure"}, 
        extra_config=["MODEL.ROI_HEADS.SCORE_THRESH_TEST", 0.8] 
    )

error:

OSError                                   Traceback (most recent call last)

I checked the destination path folder, and surprisingly, there is no config.yaml file, which can be the reason why the error shows up. I tried uninstalling and re-installing PyTorch in anticipation that the .yaml files would be installed correctly. Unfortunately, the problem remains the same.

I would appreciate a solution for this, or an alternative suggestion if exists.

Answer 1

I found the solution as adding the congif path of tesseract.exe to pytesseract_cmd for running CLI behind on jupyter:

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'path\to\folder\Tesseract_OCR\tesseract.exe'

Then calling the Detectron2Model didn't throw error.

Referred to this thread Pytesseract : “TesseractNotFound Error: tesseract is not installed or it's not in your path”, how do I fix this?
