Unable to process images from CLI

[nasirkamal]

Hi I want to OCR an image using your MATAB code but I am facing some issues. Details are as follows:

• OS = Ubuntu 16.04.5

• MATLAB Version: R2017a

• My OcrDefaults.m
  %% Default Configuration function out = OcrDefaults out.ImageDir = 'C:\shape\OCR Program\Handwritten'; out.ImageFile = 'C:\shape\OCR Program\Handwritten\test1.png'; out.TemplateFile = 'C:\shape\OCR Program\Mnist Dataset\train-images.idx3-ubyte'; out.TrainedData = 'C:\shape\Matlab OCR\Data\TrainedData_handyosef.mat'; out.gaussianSigma = 1.5; out.gaussianSize = 1; out.hysteresis = [100, 170]; out.numberEdges = 100; out.transformCycles = 2; out.tpsRigidity = 10000; out.kNNsize = 3; end

Error Message:

`>> ocr
Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

Error in CombineCharacters (line 7)
borderLIST(k, 1, :) = min(edgesLIST{k});

Error in ocr (line 5)
COMBINED = CombineCharacters(EDGES);`

Can you please help me fix this issue.

What is the value of edgesLIST{k}?

[nasirkamal]

Value of k is 1

By the way GUI version works good but CLI version has this issue.

Looks like it's a bug in the ocr.m file:

shape-context-ocr/Matlab OCR/ocr.m

Lines 4 to 5 in 1109350

	EDGES = CannyEdgeDetection(IMG);
	COMBINED = CombineCharacters(EDGES);

It should be changed to:

CANNY    = CannyEdgeDetection(IMG);
COMBINED = CombineCharacters(CANNY.edgesLIST);

Good luck!
