Creates an instance of the OCRBeamSearchDecoder class. Initializes HMMDecoder.

Parameters
classifierThe character classifier with built in feature extractor.
vocabularyThe language vocabulary (chars when ascii english text). vocabulary.size() must be equal to the number of classes of the classifier.
transition_probabilities_tableTable with transition probabilities between character pairs. cols == rows == vocabulary.size().
emission_probabilities_tableTable with observation emission probabilities. cols == rows == vocabulary.size().
modeHMM Decoding algorithm. Only OCR_DECODER_VITERBI is available for the moment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viterbi_algorithm).
beam_sizeSize of the beam in Beam Search algorithm.

Recognize text using Beam Search.

Takes image on input and returns recognized text in the output_text parameter. Optionally provides also the Rects for individual text elements found (e.g. words), and the list of those text elements with their confidence values.

Parameters
imageInput binary image CV_8UC1 with a single text line (or word).
output_textOutput text. Most likely character sequence found by the HMM decoder.
component_rectsIf provided the method will output a list of Rects for the individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_textsIf provided the method will output a list of text strings for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_confidencesIf provided the method will output a list of confidence values for the recognition of individual text elements found (e.g. words).
component_levelOnly OCR_LEVEL_WORD is supported.

Implements cv::text::BaseOCR.
