Here is my code. i am trying to apply an OCR on a racing image.

im = Image.open("runners_1.jpg") # the second one 
im = im.filter(ImageFilter.MedianFilter())
enhancer = ImageEnhance.Contrast(im)
im = enhancer.enhance(2)
im = im.convert('1')
im.save('temp2.jpg')
text=pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('temp2.jpg','r'),config="--psm 
8")
print(text)

and facing this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "face_detection.py", line 27, in <module>
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('temp2.jpg','r'),config="--psm 
8")

Line 27 is the call to this "image_to_string" function

  • I suspect it's `Image.open('temp2.jpg','r')` failing to read that file. try to read it on a separate line and check. – 9000 Apr 06 '18 at 19:12

  • i did run it as administrator and getting this error now FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified on the same line – Syed Salman Kazmi Apr 06 '18 at 20:11
