Python OCR Tesseract, find a certain word in the image and return me the coordinates

I wanted your help, I've been trying for a few months to make a code that finds a word in the image and returns the coordinates where that word is in the image. I was trying this using OpenCV, OCR tesseract, but I was not successful, could someone here in the community help me?

I'll leave an image here as an example:

Solution

  • Here is something you can start with:

    import pytesseract
from PIL import Image


pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\<path-to-your-tesseract>\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'

img = Image.open("img.png")
data = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, output_type='dict')
boxes = len(data['level'])

for i in range(boxes):
    if data['text'][i] != '':
        print(data['left'][i], data['top'][i], data['width'][i], data['height'][i], data['text'][i])
