Tesseract is a popular open source OCR package. Running it on FancyCaptcha images, with no training or configuration, yielded a 56% break rate. By restricting the character set, the OCR break rate was improved to 66%. So: * Reduce k, increase wob scale, increase rr fuzz. The net effect of these three changes is to more reliably bend the baseline. In the old captcha, the baseline would often be bent by chance, but when it wasn't bent, it provided a very easy challenge for the OCR engine. This reduced the break rate from 66% to around 40%. * Introduce additive noise, based on a bilinear upscale of a random greyscale image. This, combined with the above change, reduces the Tesseract break rate to 6%. Change-Id: I05b5bb6475de9378cd89cce13b1b2f28b32cd405 |
