"""OneOCR-shaped Thai OCR: a DB text-line detector and a CTC line recognizer on ONNX Runtime. Why this shape: the 0.8B VLM writes a page one token at a time (~1,100 tokens, each a full read of its weights), which costs ~28 s per page on 8 x86 cores. A detector runs once per page and a CTC recognizer reads every character of a line in one forward pass, so cost follows image area, not text length, and a runaway loop is impossible by construction. Pipeline (see the plan in NT-ONPREM-OCR-0.8B.md / the line-OCR plan): image -> [orientation] -> detector (probability map -> DB boxes, unclipped) -> reading order (rows by vertical overlap, left to right) -> crops from the full-resolution image -> recognizer (H=48, width follows the line, batched by width) -> greedy CTC decode with a confidence per line -> thai_norm.canonical -> joined text. Model directory layout: det.onnx, det.yml detector + its PaddleX inference.yml (thresholds) rec.onnx, rec.yml recognizer + inference.yml (character_dict), or rec.onnx, rec_dict.txt our trained recognizer + its charset, one per line config.json optional overrides, e.g. {"det": {"limit": 1600}} """ from __future__ import annotations import json import math import os import re import threading import time import unicodedata from pathlib import Path from typing import Any import cv2 import numpy as np import pyclipper from .thai_norm import canonical DEFAULTS: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] = { "det": {"limit": 1280, "thresh": 0.3, "box_thresh": 0.6, "unclip": 1.5, "min_size": 3, "max_candidates": 3000, "v_pad": 0.0, # split_gap: a detected line is cut where it has a blank stretch at # least this many line heights wide — two columns' lines or two # table cells the detector merged across a narrow gutter.
