Requirements

• Linux (OSX may work, but untested.).
• Python (2.7, 3.6 under conda virtual environment is recomended)
• Numpy
• PyTorch (1.0). PyTorch 0.3.1 compatible on this branch
• OpenCv (3.4.5.20).
• NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN (CPU mode and CUDA without CuDNN works, but is not recomended for training).
• tensorboard-pytorch (v0.9) [Optional]. pip install tensorboardX > A diferent conda env is recomended to keep tensorflow separated from PyTorch

Install

python setup.py install

To install python dependencies alone, use requirements file conda env create --file conda_requirements.yml

Usage

1. Input data must follow the folder structure data_tag/page, where images must be into the data_tag folder and xml files into page. For example:

mkdir -p data/{train,val,test,prod}/page;
tree data;

data
├── prod
│   ├── page
│   │   ├── prod_0.xml
│   │   └── prod_1.xml
│   ├── prod_0.jpg
│   └── prod_1.jpg
├── test
│   ├── page
│   │   ├── test_0.xml
│   │   └── test_1.xml
│   ├── test_0.jpg
│   └── test_1.jpg
├── train
│   ├── page
│   │   ├── train_0.xml
│   │   └── train_1.xml
│   ├── train_0.jpg
│   └── train_1.jpg
└── val
    ├── page
    │   ├── val_0.xml
    │   └── val_1.xml
    ├── val_0.jpg
    └── val_1.jpg

2. Run the tool.

python P2PaLA.py --config config.txt --tr_data ./data/train --te_data ./data/test --log_comment "_foo"

❗ Pre-trained models available here

3. Use TensorBoard to visualize train status:

tensorboard --logdir ./work/runs

4. xml-PAGE files must be at "./work/results/test/"

We recommend Transkribus or nw-page-editor to visualize and edit PAGE-xml files.

5. For detail about arguments and config file, see docs or python P2PaLA.py -h.
