I'm developing and android app that take a picture and OCRed it.
I'm getting this error sometime and sometime not without changing my code,
THE ERROR : 01-08 20:41:59.940: A/libc(10967): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1)
I have a method that crop the image to let the user highlight the text :
private void performCrop(){
File file = new File(_path);
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
try{
//call the standard crop action intent (the user device may not support it)
Intent cropIntent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
cropIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
//indicate image type and Uri
cropIntent.setDataAndType(picUri, "image/*");
//set crop properties
cropIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
//indicate aspect of desired crop
cropIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 5);
cropIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
//indicate output X and Y
cropIntent.putExtra("outputX", 500);
cropIntent.putExtra("outputY", 100);
//retrieve data on return
cropIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
//start the activity - we handle returning in onActivityResult
startActivityForResult(cropIntent, 2);
}catch(ActivityNotFoundException anfe){
//display an error message
String errorMessage = "Whoops - your device doesn't support the crop action!";
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.v(TAG, ex.toString());
}
}
and here is the method that do the OCR :
protected void onPhotoTaken() {
_taken = true;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 2;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(_path, options);
try {
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(_path);
int exifOrientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
Log.v(TAG, "Orient: " + exifOrientation);
int rotate = 0;
switch (exifOrientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
rotate = 90;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
rotate = 180;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
rotate = 270;
break;
}
Log.v(TAG, "Rotation: " + rotate);
if (rotate != 0) {
// Getting width & height of the given image.
int w = bitmap.getWidth();
int h = bitmap.getHeight();
// Setting pre rotate
Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
mtx.preRotate(rotate);
// Rotating Bitmap
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, w, h, mtx, false);
}
// Convert to ARGB_8888, required by tess
bitmap = bitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't correct orientation: " + e.toString());
}
// _image.setImageBitmap( bitmap );
Log.v(TAG, "Before baseApi");
TessBaseAPI baseApi = new TessBaseAPI();
baseApi.setDebug(true);
baseApi.init(DATA_PATH, lang);
baseApi.setImage(bitmap);
String recognizedText = baseApi.getUTF8Text();
baseApi.end();
// You now have the text in recognizedText var, you can do anything with it.
// We will display a stripped out trimmed alpha-numeric version of it (if lang is eng)
// so that garbage doesn't make it to the display.
Log.v(TAG, "OCRED TEXT: " + recognizedText);
if ( lang.equalsIgnoreCase("eng") ) {
recognizedText = recognizedText.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", " ");
}
recognizedText = recognizedText.trim();
if ( recognizedText.length() != 0 ) {
_field.setText(_field.getText().toString().length() == 0 ? recognizedText : _field.getText() + " " + recognizedText);
_field.setSelection(_field.getText().toString().length());
}
// Cycle done.
}
