Document Data Extractor
=======================

[](#document-data-extractor)

A simple PHP library to automate data extraction from documents with known formats.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This library uses Tesseract to read text from documents and Imagick to manipulate the images.

It relies on GhostScript (`gs`) to convert pdf files to images.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install required php libraries : `php-imagick`. On Ubuntu :

```
apt install php7-imagick
```

Then install the package via composer :

```
composer require lecodeurdudimanche/document-data-extractor
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, you'll need to define what data you want to extract and where it is on the image :

```
    $extractor = new Extractor();
    $regionsOfInterest = [
        // The name of the company is in the rectangle with the top left corner (700, 180) and a size of (1080, 160)
        new ROI('Name of the company')->setRect(700, 180, 1080, 160),
        new ROI('Total', 'integer')->setRect(1980, 1572, 58, 52);
    ];
```

Next you can add some options forwarded to tesseract in order to get more precise results :

```
    $tesseractConfiguration = [
        'psm' => 8, // Page segmentation method is set to 8 (single word)
        'tessdataDir' => '/usr/share/tessdata' // Other tesseract options ...
    ];
    $config = Configuration::fromArray(compact('regionsOfInterest', 'tesseractConfiguration'));
    $extractor->setConfig($config);
```

Then you set the document you want to extract data from :

```
    $extractor->loadImage('/path/to/image.png'); // or
    $extractor->loadPDF('/path/to/document.pdf'); // or
    $extractor->setImage($imageData); // could be an Imagick or GD image or raw image data
```

And finally you call the `run()` method to extract the data :

```
    $data = $extractor->run();
    /*
    * $data = [
    * ['label' => 'Name of the company', 'type' => 'text', 'data' => 'Company Limited'],
    * ['label' => 'Total', 'type' => 'integer', 'data' => '55']
    * ];
    */
```

You can save and load a `Configuration` object with the `toFile` and `fromFile` methods. The file format is pretty formatted JSON.
