Server-side C++ Inference

This chapter introduces the C++ deployment steps of the PaddleOCR model. C++ is better than Python in terms of performance. Therefore, in CPU and GPU deployment scenarios, C++ deployment is mostly used. This section will introduce how to configure the C++ environment and deploy PaddleOCR in Linux (CPU\GPU) environment. For Windows deployment please refer to Windows compilation guidelines.

1. Prepare the Environment

1.1 Environment

  • Linux, docker is recommended.
  • Windows.

1.2 Compile OpenCV

  • First of all, you need to download the source code compiled package in the Linux environment from the OpenCV official website. Taking OpenCV 3.4.7 as an example, the download command is as follows.
cd deploy/cpp_infer
wget https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/libs/opencv/opencv-3.4.7.tar.gz
tar -xf opencv-3.4.7.tar.gz

Finally, you will see the folder of opencv-3.4.7/ in the current directory.

  • Compile OpenCV, the OpenCV source path (root_path) and installation path (install_path) should be set by yourself. Enter the OpenCV source code path and compile it in the following way.
root_path=your_opencv_root_path
install_path=${root_path}/opencv3

rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build

cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${install_path} \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
    -DWITH_IPP=OFF \
    -DBUILD_IPP_IW=OFF \
    -DWITH_LAPACK=OFF \
    -DWITH_EIGEN=OFF \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib64 \
    -DWITH_ZLIB=ON \
    -DBUILD_ZLIB=ON \
    -DWITH_JPEG=ON \
    -DBUILD_JPEG=ON \
    -DWITH_PNG=ON \
    -DBUILD_PNG=ON \
    -DWITH_TIFF=ON \
    -DBUILD_TIFF=ON

make -j
make install

In the above commands, root_path is the downloaded OpenCV source code path, and install_path is the installation path of OpenCV. After make install is completed, the OpenCV header file and library file will be generated in this folder for later OCR source code compilation.

The final file structure under the OpenCV installation path is as follows.

opencv3/
|-- bin
|-- include
|-- lib
|-- lib64
|-- share

1.3 Compile or Download or the Paddle Inference Library

  • There are 2 ways to obtain the Paddle inference library, described in detail below.

1.3.1 Direct download and installation

Paddle inference library official website. You can review and select the appropriate version of the inference library on the official website.

  • After downloading, use the following command to extract files.
tar -xf paddle_inference.tgz

Finally you will see the folder of paddle_inference/ in the current path.

1.3.2 Compile the inference source code

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle.git
git checkout develop
  • Enter the Paddle directory and run the following commands to compile the paddle inference library.
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build

cmake  .. \
    -DWITH_CONTRIB=OFF \
    -DWITH_MKL=ON \
    -DWITH_MKLDNN=ON  \
    -DWITH_TESTING=OFF \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DWITH_INFERENCE_API_TEST=OFF \
    -DON_INFER=ON \
    -DWITH_PYTHON=ON
make -j
make inference_lib_dist

For more compilation parameter options, please refer to the document.

  • After the compilation process, you can see the following files in the folder of build/paddle_inference_install_dir/.
build/paddle_inference_install_dir/
|-- CMakeCache.txt
|-- paddle
|-- third_party
|-- version.txt

paddle is the Paddle library required for C++ prediction later, and version.txt contains the version information of the current inference library.

2. Compile and Run the Demo

2.1 Export the inference model

  • You can refer to Model inference and export the inference model. After the model is exported, assuming it is placed in the inference directory, the directory structure is as follows.
inference/
|-- det_db
|   |--inference.pdiparams
|   |--inference.pdmodel
|-- rec_rcnn
|   |--inference.pdiparams
|   |--inference.pdmodel
|-- cls
|   |--inference.pdiparams
|   |--inference.pdmodel
|-- table
|   |--inference.pdiparams
|   |--inference.pdmodel

2.2 Compile PaddleOCR C++ inference demo

  • The compilation commands are as follows. The addresses of Paddle C++ inference library, opencv and other Dependencies need to be replaced with the actual addresses on your own machines.
sh tools/build.sh

Specifically, you should modify the paths in tools/build.sh. The related content is as follows.

OPENCV_DIR=your_opencv_dir
LIB_DIR=your_paddle_inference_dir
CUDA_LIB_DIR=your_cuda_lib_dir
CUDNN_LIB_DIR=your_cudnn_lib_dir

OPENCV_DIR is the OpenCV installation path; LIB_DIR is the download (paddle_inference folder) or the generated Paddle inference library path (build/paddle_inference_install_dir folder); CUDA_LIB_DIR is the CUDA library file path, in docker; it is /usr/local/cuda/lib64; CUDNN_LIB_DIR is the cuDNN library file path, in docker it is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.

  • After the compilation is completed, an executable file named ppocr will be generated in the build folder.

2.3 Run the demo

Execute the built executable file:

./build/ppocr [--param1] [--param2] [...]

Note:ppocr uses the PP-OCRv3 model by default, and the input shape used by the recognition model is 3, 48, 320, if you want to use the old version model, you should add the parameter --rec_img_h=32.

Specifically,

./build/ppocr --det_model_dir=inference/det_db \
    --rec_model_dir=inference/rec_rcnn \

  • Multi-language inference is also supported in PaddleOCR, you can refer to recognition tutorial for more supported languages and models in PaddleOCR. Specifically, if you want to infer using multi-language models, you just need to modify values of rec_char_dict_path and rec_model_dir.

The detection results will be shown on the screen, which is as follows.
