optical chemical structure recognition v0.0.1

This is a optical chemical struture recognition software. It can be used to recognize the chemicial struture image. The output is a molecular structure encoded in JME format.

You need to create a vistual studio project and copy the ChemIdentify, opencv248.props, potrace_1-11.props and ocrs.props to the root directory of the project. Add Property Sheets "opencv248.props, potrace_1-11.props and ocrs.props" to the vistual studio project(Debug).

Add system environment variables as follows: GOCR_HOME = X:\XXX\XXX\ChemIdentify\gocr OCRAD_HOME = X:\XXX\XXX\ChemIdentify\ocrad OPENCV_HOME = X:\XXX\XXX\ChemIdentify\opencv POTRACE_HOME = X:\XXX\XXX\ChemIdentify\potrace TBB_HOME = X:\XXX\XXX\ChemIdentify\tbb TESSDATA_PREFIX = X:\XXX\XXX\ChemIdentify\tesseract Add %TBB_HOME%\bin\ia32\vc10;%OPENCV_HOME%\x86vc10\x86\vc10\bin;%POTRACE_HOME%\bin;%TESSDATA_PREFIX%\bin to "Path" environment variable

Now you can compile it!

Run the cmd.exe and enter the directory where the ChemIdentify.exe in. Input "ChemIdentify ImagePath"(e.g. "ChemIdentify c:/example.jpg"), then you can get a molecular structure encoded in JME format. The image formats that can be recognized including jpg, jpeg, bmp, png, pbm, pgm, ppm, tiff, tif. The result can be shown by JSME. JSME is a conversion of the JME applet into JavaScript and JME is a Java applet for creating and editing molecules. They are written by Peter Ertl.
