Missing white spaces

See original GitHub issue

System Environment: Windows 10 Version：v2.4 Related components：PP-OCR Command Code： PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=True, lang='en', ocr_version='PP-OCR', use_space_char=True)

Hello,

Before anything, I’d like to say thank you for the great effort you exerted in the creation of this work.

I’m facing a problem that the OCR engine misses white spaces many times even though I’m setting use_space_char to true. The following are some of the images with the output.

In the following image, all spaces in the first line are missing: draw-20210831_143019-4

In this image, lines 4,6, and 7 are missing spaces. draw-20210831_171152-4

Is there any configuration I can do to overcome this issue?

The new version (2.5) does a much better job at handling white spaces, but the issue is still not resolved completely. There are situations where white spaces are missing. I have tried different values of det_db_unclip_ratio and use_dilation=True. Anything else that can be done to further improve the performance ?

Unfortunately, it didn’t help enough and removed a good deal of the text. However, I would like to thank you for your great work. I’m looking forward to trying your next version. Thanks! 😃
