Working with Zones Using OCR Professional

To add code to an existing project that will let you recognize pages:

1.

Start with the program you created in Working with Pages.

2.

Define the following global IDs in Ezfunc.h in the OCR_Ltdoc2 directory:

#define IDM_FIND_ZONES              201   
#define IDM_ZONES_COUNT             202   
#define IDM_ADD_VERIFICATION_ZONE   203 
  

3.

Edit EZFUNC.RC file in the OCR_Ltdoc2 directory and add the following lines:

MAIN_MENU   MENU   
BEGIN   
   ...    
   ...    
   MENUITEM "Find Zones"            IDM_FIND_ZONES   
   MENUITEM "Zone Count"            IDM_ZONES_COUNT   
   MENUITEM "Add Verification Zone" IDM_ADD_VERIFICATION_ZONE   
END 
  

4.

Define the following global variables in Ezfunc.H in the OCR_Ltdoc2 directory:

L_INT nZoneCount;  

5.

In Ezfunc.cpp in the MainWndProc procedure, add the following code to the switch ("switch(LOWORD(wParam))")statement for WM_COMMAND:

case IDM_FIND_ZONES: 
{ 
   AUTOZONEOPTS2 ZoneOpts; 
   memset(&ZoneOpts, 0, sizeof(AUTOZONEOPTS2)); 
   ZoneOpts.uStructSize = sizeof(AUTOZONEOPTS2); 
   ZoneOpts.bEnableForceSingleColumn = TRUE; 
   ZoneOpts.bDetectNonGridedTables = TRUE; 
   L_Doc2SetZoneOptions(hDoc, &ZoneOpts); 
   nRet = L_Doc2FindZones(hDoc, 0); 
   if (nRet == SUCCESS) 
      MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("The automatic zone method found all available zones in the specified pages successfully."), TEXT("Notice!"), MB_OK); 
   else 
   { 
      wsprintf (achBuff, TEXT("Error %d in finding available zones in the specified page."), nRet); 
      MessageBox (NULL, achBuff, TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); 
   } 
   // Now the engine will build the OCR zone list, and we need to specify a verification event for each zone 
   // but the engine allows adding a verification event only for user zones. So, we need to duplicate these zones in the same coordinates... 
   DuplicateOcrZones(0); 
   InvalidateRect (hWnd, NULL, FALSE); 
} 
break; 
case IDM_ZONES_COUNT: 
{ 
   nRet = L_Doc2GetZoneCount(hDoc, 0, &nZoneCount); 
   if (nRet == SUCCESS) 
   { 
      wsprintf(achBuff, TEXT("Total Zones count = %d\n"), nZoneCount); 
      MessageBox(NULL, achBuff, TEXT("Zones Count"), MB_OK); 
   } 
} 
break; 
case IDM_ADD_VERIFICATION_ZONE: 
{ 
   ZONEDATA2 Zone; 
   L_INT i; 
   for(i=0; i<nZoneCount; i++) 
   { 
      memset(&Zone, 0, sizeof(ZONEDATA2)); 
      nRet = L_Doc2GetZone(hDoc, 0, i, &Zone, sizeof(ZONEDATA2)); 
      if (nRet == SUCCESS) 
      { 
         if ((Zone.uFlags & DOC2_ZONE_CHK_CHECKCBF_PROHIBIT) == DOC2_ZONE_CHK_CHECKCBF_PROHIBIT) 
            Zone.uFlags &= ~ DOC2_ZONE_CHK_CHECKCBF_PROHIBIT; 
         Zone.pfnCallback = VerificationCB; 
         nRet = L_Doc2UpdateZone(hDoc, 0, i, &Zone); 
         if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         { 
            wsprintf (achBuff, TEXT("Error %d in updating zone # %d"), nRet, i); 
            MessageBox (NULL, achBuff, TEXT("Error"), MB_OK); 
         } 
      } 
   } 
} 
break; 

6.

Add the following function at the end of the file in EZFUNC.CPP in the OCR_Ltdoc2 directory.

L_INT EXT_CALLBACK VerificationCB(L_INT nZoneIndex, L_TCHAR * pszWord, DOC2_VERIFYCODE * pVerify, L_VOID * pUserData) 
{ 
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(nZoneIndex); 
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(pszWord); 
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(pUserData); 
   *pVerify = DOC2_VERIFY_ACCEPT; 
   return SUCCESS; 
} 

7.

Also, add the following statement before the MainWndProc function.

L_INT EXT_CALLBACK VerificationCB(L_INT nZoneIndex, L_TCHAR * pszWord, DOC2_VERIFYCODE * pVerify, L_VOID * pUserData);  

8.

Add the following at the end of the code in EZFUNC.CPP in the OCR_Ltdoc2 directory:

L_INT DuplicateOcrZones(L_INT nPageIndex) 
{ 
   L_INT nOcrCount=0; 
   L_Doc2GetZoneCount(hDoc, nPageIndex, &nOcrZonesCount); 
   pZONEDATA2 pZones = (pZONEDATA2)GlobalAllocPtr(GHND, sizeof(ZONEDATA2) * nOcrZonesCount); 
   if (!pZones) 
      return ERROR_NO_MEMORY; 
   L_INT nRet; 
   for (int i=0; i<nOcrZonesCount; i++) 
   { 
      nRet = L_Doc2GetZone(hDoc, nPageIndex, i, &pZones[i], sizeof(ZONEDATA2)); 
      if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         return nRet; 
   } 
   for (int i=0; i<nOcrZonesCount; i++) 
   L_Doc2AddZone(hDoc, nPageIndex, -1, &pZones[i]); 
   return SUCCESS; 
} 

9.

Also, add the following statement before the MainWndProc function.

L_INT DuplicateOcrZones(L_INT nPageIndex);
