I have already built the program that turns the pdf text into an image and I would like to retain only the parts of a text that are between brackets :
For instance the first part of the text I want to retain would be :
I know I can I use Image from PIL and then the .crop(left, upper, right, lower) function but I don't know how to let it know I want the part where there is the [ in the text.
I know this link can be useful even if we extract an image by color. Indeed, they utry to find the contours and iterating through. If they find 4 corners, they do another stuff that leads to extracting the text. Here we have 2 corners
Here is part of the code I did to get the text from the image in the pdf form :
for file_name in file_names:
# load the image and convert it to grayscale
image = cv2.imread(file_name)
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# check to see if we should apply thresholding to preprocess the
# image
if args["preprocess"] == "thresh":
gray = cv2.threshold(gray, 0, 255,
cv2.THRESH_BINARY | cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]
# make a check to see if median blurring should be done to remove
# noise
elif args["preprocess"] == "blur":
gray = cv2.medianBlur(gray, 3)
# write the grayscale image to disk as a temporary file so we can
# apply OCR to it
filename = "{}.png".format(os.getpid())
cv2.imwrite(filename, gray)
# load the image as a PIL/Pillow image, apply OCR, and then delete
# the temporary file
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open(filename))
os.remove(filename)
#print(text)
with open('resume.txt', 'a+') as f:
print('***:', text, file=f)
