Cropper OCR Python
The Python OCR SDK supports the Cropper API.
Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.
Quick-Start
from mindee import Client, PredictResponse, product
# Init a new client
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key")
# Load a file from disk
input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path("/path/to/the/file.ext")
# Load a file from disk and parse it.
# The endpoint name must be specified since it cannot be determined from the class.
result: PredictResponse = mindee_client.parse(product.CropperV1, input_doc)
# Print a summary of the API result
print(result.document)
# Print the document-level summary
# print(result.document.inference.prediction)
Output (RST):

Field Types
Standard Fields
These fields are generic and used in several products.
BaseField
Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic BaseField
class.
A typical BaseField
object will have the following attributes:
- value (
Union[float, str]
): corresponds to the field value. Can beNone
if no value was extracted. - confidence (
float
): the confidence score of the field prediction. - bounding_box (
[Point, Point, Point, Point]
): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document. - polygon (
List[Point]
): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point
) of a polygon containing the field in the image. - page_id (
int
): the ID of the page, alwaysNone
when at document-level. - reconstructed (
bool
): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).
Note: A
Point
simply refers to a List of two numbers ([float, float]
).
Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom __str__
method that can be used to print their value as a string.
PositionField
The position field PositionField
does not implement all the basic BaseField
attributes, only bounding_box, polygon and page_id. On top of these, it has access to:
- rectangle (
[Point, Point, Point, Point]
): a Polygon with four points that may be oriented (even beyond canvas). - quadrangle (
[Point, Point, Point, Point]
): a free polygon made up of four points.
Page-Level Fields
Some fields are constrained to the page level, and so will not be retrievable at document level.
Attributes
The following fields are extracted for Cropper V1:
Document Cropper
📄cropping (List[PositionField]): List of documents found in the image.
for page in result.document.inference.pages:
for cropping_elem in page.prediction.cropping):
print(cropping_elem.polygon)
