How can PHP be integrated with external OCR tools or libraries to improve the accuracy of extracting numbers from images?
To improve the accuracy of extracting numbers from images using OCR tools or libraries, you can integrate PHP with external OCR services such as Tesseract OCR or Google Cloud Vision API. These services provide advanced algorithms for text recognition in images, resulting in more accurate extraction of numbers.
// Example code snippet using Tesseract OCR
// Install Tesseract OCR library using Composer: composer require thiagoalessio/tesseract_ocr
use thiagoalessio\TesseractOCR\TesseractOCR;
$imagePath = 'path/to/image.jpg';
$tesseract = new TesseractOCR($imagePath);
$tesseract->run();
echo $tesseract->run();
