How to do only page segmentation / layout detection with Tesseract (mode --psm 2)?

I would like to use page segmentation from Tesseract without running the OCR, as I have my own custom OCR model, and it takes to long to run page segmentation AND OCR. I tried using the --psm 2 mode in command line mode of Tesseract, and in pytesseract, and it didn't work as promised.

I'm working in Linux, and am coding in Python 3.10.

I currently use the tesseract-ocr-api from layoutparser Documentation. The code looks like the following:

import layoutparser as lp
ocr_agent = lp.TesseractAgent()
res = ocr_agent.detect(img_path, return_response=True)
layout_info = res['data']

The layout_info then is a pd.DataFrame and contains Layout information on the level of blocks, paragraph, lines and words and also the OCR output. The problem is that this is very slow; on my machine it takes 7s per image and I actually don't need the OCR. Hence, I want page segmentation (also sometimes called layout detection) only.

According to the Tesseract (Documentation), there is the --psm 2mode "Automatic page segmentation, but no OSD, or OCR". When I try this in the command line, this does not produce an output file (even if the output type is defined):

tesseract img.png outfile --psm 2
tesseract img.png outfile --psm 2 tsv

I also tried working with the python wrapper pytesseract, but it is quite slow and it again returns the pd.DataFrame with the layout AND OCR data, despite --psm 2 being specified:

import cv2
import pytesseract

img = cv2.imread(img_path)
layout_info = pytesseract.image_to_data(img, config='tsv --psm 2', output_type='data.frame')

I'm using pytesseract==0.3.10 and tesseract 5.3.3-30-gea0b.

Do you have any ideas on how I can achieve page segmentation without OCR with Tesseract (or at least speed up the processing time of page segmenation + OCR?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
