# Indus Script OCR

To automatically locate text patches/regions, segment individual symbols/characters from those regions and also identify each symbol/character belonging to the Indus Script, given images of Indus seals from archaeological sites, using image processing and deep learning techniques. [WIP]

## Deploying the app

- Setup the GPU machine to run the service,
  - Install latest nvidia drivers, from `http://www.geforce.com/drivers`
  - Install the nvidia-docker plug-in over docker, from `https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/releases`
  - Make sure you have `git-lfs` installed (https://git-lfs.github.com/)

- Launch the service,
  - Build the docker image: `nvidia-docker build --no-cache=true -t indus-script-ocr:latest .`
  - To launch a docker container: `nvidia-docker run -it -v "$PWD":/root/workspace --rm --env-file app.env --name indus-script-ocr-service indus-script-ocr:latest`
