# TrOCR

## TrOCR

### Overview

The TrOCR model was proposed in [TrOCR: Transformer-based Optical Character Recognition with Pre-trained Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10282) by Minghao Li, Tengchao Lv, Lei Cui, Yijuan Lu, Dinei Florencio, Cha Zhang, Zhoujun Li, Furu Wei. TrOCR consists of an image Transformer encoder and an autoregressive text Transformer decoder to perform [optical character recognition (OCR)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition).

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*Text recognition is a long-standing research problem for document digitalization. Existing approaches for text recognition are usually built based on CNN for image understanding and RNN for char-level text generation. In addition, another language model is usually needed to improve the overall accuracy as a post-processing step. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end text recognition approach with pre-trained image Transformer and text Transformer models, namely TrOCR, which leverages the Transformer architecture for both image understanding and wordpiece-level text generation. The TrOCR model is simple but effective, and can be pre-trained with large-scale synthetic data and fine-tuned with human-labeled datasets. Experiments show that the TrOCR model outperforms the current state-of-the-art models on both printed and handwritten text recognition tasks.*

TrOCR architecture. Taken from the [original paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10282).

Please refer to the `VisionEncoderDecoder` class on how to use this model.

This model was contributed by [nielsr](https://huggingface.co/nielsr). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/unilm/tree/6f60612e7cc86a2a1ae85c47231507a587ab4e01/trocr).

Tips:

* The quickest way to get started with TrOCR is by checking the [tutorial notebooks](https://github.com/NielsRogge/Transformers-Tutorials/tree/master/TrOCR), which show how to use the model at inference time as well as fine-tuning on custom data.
* TrOCR is pre-trained in 2 stages before being fine-tuned on downstream datasets. It achieves state-of-the-art results on both printed (e.g. the [SROIE dataset](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/sroie) and handwritten (e.g. the [IAM Handwriting dataset](https://fki.tic.heia-fr.ch/databases/iam-handwriting-database%3E) text recognition tasks. For more information, see the [official models](https://huggingface.co/models?other=trocr%3E).
* TrOCR is always used within the [VisionEncoderDecoder](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/vision-encoder-decoder) framework.

### Inference

TrOCR’s `VisionEncoderDecoder` model accepts images as input and makes use of [generate()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/text_generation#transformers.GenerationMixin.generate) to autoregressively generate text given the input image.

The \[`ViTImageProcessor`/`DeiTImageProcessor`] class is responsible for preprocessing the input image and \[`RobertaTokenizer`/`XLMRobertaTokenizer`] decodes the generated target tokens to the target string. The [TrOCRProcessor](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/trocr#transformers.TrOCRProcessor) wraps \[`ViTImageProcessor`/`DeiTImageProcessor`] and \[`RobertaTokenizer`/`XLMRobertaTokenizer`] into a single instance to both extract the input features and decode the predicted token ids.

* Step-by-step Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [TrOCRForCausalLM](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/trocr#transformers.TrOCRForCausalLM). It is used to instantiate an TrOCR model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the TrOCR [microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from [PretrainedConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PretrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

Copied

```
>>> from transformers import TrOCRConfig, TrOCRForCausalLM

>>> # Initializing a TrOCR-base style configuration
>>> configuration = TrOCRConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the TrOCR-base style configuration
>>> model = TrOCRForCausalLM(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

( config )

Parameters

* **config** ([TrOCRConfig](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/trocr#transformers.TrOCRConfig)) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from\_pretrained()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

The TrOCR Decoder with a language modeling head. Can be used as the decoder part of [EncoderDecoderModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/encoder-decoder#transformers.EncoderDecoderModel) and `VisionEncoderDecoder`. This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

* **input\_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast.encode) and [PreTrainedTokenizer.**call**()](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.34.1/en/model_doc/vits#transformers.VitsTokenizer.__call__) for details.

* **encoder\_attention\_mask** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Mask to avoid performing attention on the padding token indices of the encoder input.

The two additional tensors are only required when the model is used as a decoder in a Sequence to Sequence model.

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user can optionally input only the last `decoder_input_ids` (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, 1)` instead of all `decoder_input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
* **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) — Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.
* **use\_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) — If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`).
