python怎样调用第三方平台识别验证码

Answer 1

一、pytesseract介绍

1、pytesseract说明

pytesseract最新版本0.1.6，网址：h

Python-tesseract is a wrapper for google's Tesseract-OCR
( ht-ocr/ ). It is also useful as a
stand-alone invocation script to tesseract, as it can read all image types
supported by the Python Imaging Library, including jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff,
and others, whereas tesseract-ocr by default only supports tiff and bmp.
Additionally, if used as a script, Python-tesseract will print the recognized
text in stead of writing it to a file. Support for confidence estimates and
bounding box data is planned for future releases.

翻译一下大意：

a、Python-tesseract是一个基于google's Tesseract-OCR的独立封装包；

b、Python-tesseract功能是识别图片文件中文字，并作为返回参数返回识别结果；

c、Python-tesseract默认支持tiff、bmp格式图片，只有在安装PIL之后，才能支持jpeg、gif、png等其他图片格式；

2、pytesseract安装

INSTALLATION:

Prerequisites:
* Python-tesseract requires python 2.5 or later or python 3.
* You will need the Python Imaging Library (PIL). Under Debian/Ubuntu, this is
the package "python-imaging" or "python3-imaging" for python3.
* Install google tesseract-ocr from hsseract-ocr/ .
You must be able to invoke the tesseract command as "tesseract". If this
isn't the case, for example because tesseract isn't in your PATH, you will
have to change the "tesseract_cmd" variable at the top of 'tesseract.py'.
Under Debian/Ubuntu you can use the package "tesseract-ocr".

Installing via pip: 
See the [pytesseract package page](hi/pytesseract) 
```
$> sudo pip install pytesseract 

翻译一下：

a、Python-tesseract支持python2.5及更高版本；

b、Python-tesseract需要安装PIL（Python Imaging Library） ，来支持更多的图片格式；

c、Python-tesseract需要安装tesseract-ocr安装包，具体参看上一篇博文。

综上，Pytesseract原理：

1、上一篇博文中提到，执行命令行 tesseract.exe 1.png output -l eng ，可以识别1.png中文字，并把识别结果输出到output.txt中；

2、Pytesseract对上述过程进行了二次封装，自动调用tesseract.exe，并读取output.txt文件的内容，作为函数的返回值进行返回。

二、pytesseract使用

USAGE:
```
> try:
> import Image
> except ImportError:
> from PIL import Image
> import pytesseract
> print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test.png')))
> print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test-european.jpg'),))

可以看到：

1、核心代码就是image_to_string函数，该函数还支持-l eng 参数，支持-psm 参数。

用法：
image_to_string(Image.open('test.png'),lang="eng" config="-psm 7")

2、pytesseract里调用了image，所以才需要PIL，其实tesseract.exe本身是支持jpeg、png等图片格式的。

实例代码，识别某公共网站的验证码(大家千万别干坏事啊，思虑再三，最后还是隐掉网站域名，大家去找别的网站试试吧……)：

三、pytesseract代码优化

上述程序在windows平台运行时，会发现有黑色的控制台窗口一闪而过的画面，不太友好。

略微修改了pytesseract.py（C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pytesseract目录下），把上述过程进行了隐藏。

# modified by zhongtang hide console window
# new code
IS_WIN32 = 'win32' in str(sys.platform).lower()
if IS_WIN32:
startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
startupinfo.wShowWindow = subprocess.SW_HIDE
proc = subprocess.Popen(command,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE,startupinfo=startupinfo)
'''
# old code
proc = subprocess.Popen(command,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
'''
# modified end

为了方便初学者，把pytesseract.py也贴出来，高手自行忽略。
