How to create a uzn file for tesseract - ocr

I need to build an OCR application that scans passports and so I have chosen tesseract for start. From what I have read there should be a .uzn file that I define, but I can't find any documentation on it. How can I create such a template for tesseract to use.

you can rather use uzn file or let tesseract do the segmentation itself.
anyway checkout the folowing link if you need more informations about uzn file format :

Beckhoff: choosing configuration file

Sorry for the noob question. I have a Beckhoff digital output module and need the appropriate configuration file. Downloaded the available files from the official site and in the description the wanted model was there.
To be more specific, I need the configuration for EL2809, however in the downloads I can only find intermediate xmls (EL25xx and EL29xx). Would they work too? What is the process to choose a config file?

Getting Minizinc output as .txt from IDE

Imagine I ran a .mzn with .dzn and got an output in IDE as follows:
Supplier01,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100
Supplier02,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200,200
Supplier03,40,49,359,834,1067,1377,334,516,761,1001,1251,1583
Supplier04,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500,500

Is there any way that I can generate this output in a .txt or .csv file in a preferred location on my computer? I know that we can perform this in command prompt, but is there any way we can do using the IDE it self?
The MiniZinc IDE currently does not include functionality to export solutions for other applications.
The current expectation is that if you want to integrate MiniZinc with other applications that you would use something like MiniZinc Python, iMiniZinc, or the command line tools, to facilitate the connection. In your case using MiniZinc Python or iMiniZinc might be a good solution since Python can generate csv files using the csv module. If you want to see and interact with the solution as well as outputting the csv file, then iMiniZinc can provide the right tooling in Jupyter Notebook to do both.
If you are very happy with the MiniZinc IDE and you want to continue using it, then the other option would to just minimize the inconvenience. Your output statement already provides the solution in csv style. So the only remaining part is making the file. The MiniZinc IDE can open .csv files. So my suggestion would in this case be to create an empty .csv file, open it in the IDE. Once you get the solution from your instance in the output window, then you copy directly into the file.

How to convert tiff to searchable pdf using alfresco and tesseact?

I want to convert *.PDF file to searchable *.PDF files using alfresco and tesseract OCR.
tesseract version 3.03 needs to be compiled and i need to generate setup of that using source code.Is there any other solution for the same.
Can anyone help for the same?
You'll need Tesseract 3.03 or later for searchable PDF output feature.
tesseract yourimage.tif out pdf
you can use another tool which is directly performing pdf to searchable pdf conversion.This tool is using tesseract internally for this conversion.You can find more details on below link and configure same for alfresco.

IrfanView generate HTML file from Thumbnails in cmd

I try generate from IrfanView cmd interface HTML page from directory with Thumbnails, but I can't find any parameter or options, how I can do it.
I can generate Thumbnails via:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "C:\Test\FullScreens\*.jpg" /resize=(100,100) /aspectratio /resample /convert="C:\Test\*.png
I can't find this in cmd:
It is possible to realize this?
Thank you, Regards,
  Peter
The text file i_options.txt in program files folder of IrfanView contains all options which can be used on command line. There is no option to create an HTML file. This must be done via GUI using the captured dialog.
But after creating the thumbnails for the images, it would be of course possible to create with a batch file also the HTML file using the commands echo, for, if and set with output created by several echo command lines redirected to the HTML file to create. Executing in a command prompt window help echo, help for, ... displays help on those internal commands of command interpreter cmd.
However, it would be a lot of work to create a batch file with all the parameters of the dialog. And it would make the batch file slower to really support all those parameters. A tailor-made batch file for creating the HTML file exactly like you want them would be much easier to code.
I suggest to try by yourself coding the batch file to create the HTML file. Create a new question with a link to this question, if you have somewhere a problem which you can't solve by yourself. Post in this question the batch code you have so far and the content of the HTML file created by IrfanView which should be instead created by the batch file.

Packing a file into an ELF executable

I'm currently looking for a way to add data to an already compiled ELF executable, i.e. embedding a file into the executable without recompiling it.
I could easily do that by using cat myexe mydata > myexe_with_mydata, but I couldn't access the data from the executable because I don't know the size of the original executable.
Does anyone have an idea of how I could implement this ? I thought of adding a section to the executable or using a special marker (0xBADBEEFC0FFEE for example) to detect the beginning of the data in the executable, but I do not know if there is a more beautiful way to do it.
Thanks in advance.
You could add the file to the elf file as a special section with objcopy(1):
objcopy --add-section sname=file oldelf newelf
will add the file to oldelf and write the results to newelf (oldelf won't be modified)
You can then use libbfd to read the elf file and extract the section by name, or just roll your own code that reads the section table and finds you section. Make sure to use a section name that doesn't collide with anything the system is expecting -- as long as your name doesn't start with a ., you should be fine.
I've created a small library called elfdataembed which provides a simple interface for extracting/referencing sections embedded using objcopy. This allows you to pass the offset/size to another tool, or reference it directly from the runtime using file descriptors. Hopefully this will help someone in the future.
It's worth mentioning this approach is more efficient than compiling to a symbol, as it allows external tools to reference the data without needing to be extracted, and it also doesn't require the entire binary to be loaded into memory in order to extract/reference it.
