tensorflow 实现端到端的OCR：二代身份证号识别_二代身份证数据集

 

最近在研究OCR识别相关的东西，最终目标是能识别身份证上的所有中文汉字+数字，不过本文先设定一个小目标，先识别定长为18的身份证号，当然本文的思路也是可以复用来识别定长的验证码识别的。
本文实现思路主要来源于Xlvector的博客，采用基于CNN实现端到端的OCR，下面引用博文介绍目前基于深度学习的两种OCR识别方法：

1. 把OCR的问题当做一个多标签学习的问题。4个数字组成的验证码就相当于有4个标签的图片识别问题（这里的标签还是有序的），用CNN来解决。

1. 把OCR的问题当做一个语音识别的问题，语音识别是把连续的音频转化为文本，验证码识别就是把连续的图片转化为文本，用CNN+LSTM+CTC来解决。

这里方法1主要用来解决固定长度标签的图片识别问题，而方法2主要用来解决不定长度标签的图片识别问题，本文实现方法1识别固定18个数字字符的身份证号

环境依赖

1. 本文基于tensorflow框架实现,依赖于tensorflow环境，建议使用anaconda进行python包管理及环境管理
2. 本文使用freetype-py 进行训练集图片的实时生成，同时后续也可扩展为能生成中文字符图片的训练集，建议使用pip安装

  pip install freetype-py

1. 同时本文还依赖于numpy和opencv等常用库

  pip install numpy cv2

知识准备

1. 本文不具体介绍CNN (卷积神经网络)具体实现原理，不熟悉的建议参看集智博文卷积：如何成为一个很厉害的神经网络，这篇文章写得很?
2. 本文实现思路很容易理解，就是把一个有序排列18个数字组成的图片当做一个多标签学习的问题，标签的长度可以任意改变，只要是固定长度的，这个训练方法都是适用的，当然现实中很多情况是需要识别不定长度的标签的，这部分就需要使用方法2(CNN+lSTM+CTC)来解决了。

训练数据集生成

首先先完成训练数据集图片的生成，主要依赖于freetype-py库生成数字/中文的图片。其中要注意的一点是就是生成图片的大小，本文经过多次尝试后，生成的图片是32 x 256大小的，如果图片太大，则可能导致训练不收敛

生成出来的示例图片如下：

image.png

gen_image()方法返回
image_data：图片像素数据 (32,256)
label： 图片标签 18位数字字符 477081933151463759
vec : 图片标签转成向量表示 (180,) 代表每个数字所处的列，总长度 18 * 10

构建网络，开始训练

首先定义生成一个batch的方法：

# 生成一个训练batch
def get_next_batch(batch_size=128):
    obj = gen_id_card()
    batch_x = np.zeros([batch_size, IMAGE_HEIGHT*IMAGE_WIDTH])
    batch_y = np.zeros([batch_size, MAX_CAPTCHA*CHAR_SET_LEN])
 
 
    for i in range(batch_size):
        image, text, vec = obj.gen_image()
        batch_x[i,:] = image.reshape((IMAGE_HEIGHT*IMAGE_WIDTH))
        batch_y[i,:] = vec
    return batch_x, batch_y

用了Batch Normalization，个人还不是很理解，读者可自行百度，代码来源于参考博文

#Batch Normalization? 有空再理解,tflearn or slim都有封装
## http://stackoverflow.com/a/34634291/2267819
def batch_norm(x, beta, gamma, phase_train, scope='bn', decay=0.9, eps=1e-5):
    with tf.variable_scope(scope):
        #beta = tf.get_variable(name='beta', shape=[n_out], initializer=tf.constant_initializer(0.0), trainable=True)
        #gamma = tf.get_variable(name='gamma', shape=[n_out], initializer=tf.random_normal_initializer(1.0, stddev), trainable=True)
        batch_mean, batch_var = tf.nn.moments(x, [0, 1, 2], name='moments')
        ema = tf.train.ExponentialMovingAverage(decay=decay)
 
        def mean_var_with_update():
            ema_apply_op = ema.apply([batch_mean, batch_var])
            with tf.control_dependencies([ema_apply_op]):
                return tf.identity(batch_mean), tf.identity(batch_var)
 
        mean, var = tf.cond(phase_train, mean_var_with_update, lambda: (ema.average(batch_mean), ema.average(batch_var)))
        normed = tf.nn.batch_normalization(x, mean, var, beta, gamma, eps)
    return normed

定义4层CNN和一层全连接层，卷积核分别是2层5x5、2层3x3，每层均使用tf.nn.relu非线性化,并使用max_pool，网络结构读者可自行调参优化

# 定义CNN
def crack_captcha_cnn(w_alpha=0.01, b_alpha=0.1):
    x = tf.reshape(X, shape=[-1, IMAGE_HEIGHT, IMAGE_WIDTH, 1])
 
    # 4 conv layer
    w_c1 = tf.Variable(w_alpha*tf.random_normal([5, 5, 1, 32]))
    b_c1 = tf.Variable(b_alpha*tf.random_normal([32]))
    conv1 = tf.nn.bias_add(tf.nn.conv2d(x, w_c1, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding='SAME'), b_c1)
    conv1 = batch_norm(conv1, tf.constant(0.0, shape=[32]), tf.random_normal(shape=[32], mean=1.0, stddev=0.02), train_phase, scope='bn_1')
    conv1 = tf.nn.relu(conv1)
    conv1 = tf.nn.max_pool(conv1, ksize=[1, 2, 2, 1], strides=[1, 2, 2, 1], padding='SAME')
    conv1 = tf.nn.dropout(conv1, keep_prob)
 
    w_c2 = tf.Variable(w_alpha*tf.random_normal([5, 5, 32, 64]))
    b_c2 = tf.Variable(b_alpha*tf.random_normal([64]))
    conv2 = tf.nn.bias_add(tf.nn.conv2d(conv1, w_c2, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding='SAME'), b_c2)
    conv2 = batch_norm(conv2, tf.constant(0.0, shape=[64]), tf.random_normal(shape=[64], mean=1.0, stddev=0.02), train_phase, scope='bn_2')
    conv2 = tf.nn.relu(conv2)
    conv2 = tf.nn.max_pool(conv2, ksize=[1, 2, 2, 1], strides=[1, 2, 2, 1], padding='SAME')
    conv2 = tf.nn.dropout(conv2, keep_prob)
 
    w_c3 = tf.Variable(w_alpha*tf.random_normal([3, 3, 64, 64]))
    b_c3 = tf.Variable(b_alpha*tf.random_normal([64]))
    conv3 = tf.nn.bias_add(tf.nn.conv2d(conv2, w_c3, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding='SAME'), b_c3)
    conv3 = batch_norm(conv3, tf.constant(0.0, shape=[64]), tf.random_normal(shape=[64], mean=1.0, stddev=0.02), train_phase, scope='bn_3')
    conv3 = tf.nn.relu(conv3)
    conv3 = tf.nn.max_pool(conv3, ksize=[1, 2, 2, 1], strides=[1, 2, 2, 1], padding='SAME')
    conv3 = tf.nn.dropout(conv3, keep_prob)
 
    w_c4 = tf.Variable(w_alpha*tf.random_normal([3, 3, 64, 64]))
    b_c4 = tf.Variable(b_alpha*tf.random_normal([64]))
    conv4 = tf.nn.bias_add(tf.nn.conv2d(conv3, w_c4, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding='SAME'), b_c4)
    conv4 = batch_norm(conv4, tf.constant(0.0, shape=[64]), tf.random_normal(shape=[64], mean=1.0, stddev=0.02), train_phase, scope='bn_4')
    conv4 = tf.nn.relu(conv4)
    conv4 = tf.nn.max_pool(conv4, ksize=[1, 2, 2, 1], strides=[1, 2, 2, 1], padding='SAME')
    conv4 = tf.nn.dropout(conv4, keep_prob)
     
    # Fully connected layer
    w_d = tf.Variable(w_alpha*tf.random_normal([2*16*64, 1024]))
    b_d = tf.Variable(b_alpha*tf.random_normal([1024]))
    dense = tf.reshape(conv4, [-1, w_d.get_shape().as_list()[0]])
    dense = tf.nn.relu(tf.add(tf.matmul(dense, w_d), b_d))
    dense = tf.nn.dropout(dense, keep_prob)
 
    w_out = tf.Variable(w_alpha*tf.random_normal([1024, MAX_CAPTCHA*CHAR_SET_LEN]))
    b_out = tf.Variable(b_alpha*tf.random_normal([MAX_CAPTCHA*CHAR_SET_LEN]))
    out = tf.add(tf.matmul(dense, w_out), b_out)
    return out

最后执行训练，使用sigmoid分类，每100次计算一次准确率，如果准确率超过80%，则保存模型并结束训练

# 训练
def train_crack_captcha_cnn():
    output = crack_captcha_cnn()
    # loss
    #loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits=output, labels=Y))
    loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits=output, labels=Y))
    # 最后一层用来分类的softmax和sigmoid有什么不同？
    # optimizer 为了加快训练 learning_rate应该开始大，然后慢慢衰
    optimizer = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate=0.002).minimize(loss)
 
    predict = tf.reshape(output, [-1, MAX_CAPTCHA, CHAR_SET_LEN])
    max_idx_p = tf.argmax(predict, 2)
    max_idx_l = tf.argmax(tf.reshape(Y, [-1, MAX_CAPTCHA, CHAR_SET_LEN]), 2)
    correct_pred = tf.equal(max_idx_p, max_idx_l)
    accuracy = tf.reduce_mean(tf.cast(correct_pred, tf.float32))
 
    saver = tf.train.Saver()
    with tf.Session() as sess:
        sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
 
        step = 0
        while True:
            batch_x, batch_y = get_next_batch(64)
            _, loss_ = sess.run([optimizer, loss], feed_dict={X: batch_x, Y: batch_y, keep_prob: 0.75, train_phase:True})
            print(step, loss_)
            
            # 每100 step计算一次准确率
            if step % 100 == 0 and step != 0:
                batch_x_test, batch_y_test = get_next_batch(100)
                acc = sess.run(accuracy, feed_dict={X: batch_x_test, Y: batch_y_test, keep_prob: 1., train_phase:False})
                print  "第%s步，训练准确率为：%s" % (step, acc)
                # 如果准确率大80%,保存模型,完成训练
                if acc > 0.8:
                    saver.save(sess, "crack_capcha.model", global_step=step)
                    break
            step += 1

执行结果，笔者在大概500次训练后，得到准确率84.3%的结果

image.png

大概训练1500~2200次左右，准确率就能达到98%，打印前5条测试样本可以看出，输出结果基本与label一致了

后记

最后所有代码和字体资源文件托管在我的Github下

笔者在一开始训练的时候图片大小是64 x 512的，训练的时候发现训练速度很慢，而且训练的loss不收敛一直保持在0.33左右，缩小图片为32 x 256后解决，不知道为啥，猜测要么是网络层级不够，或者特征层数不够吧。

小目标完成后，为了最终目标的完成，后续可能尝试方法2，去识别不定长的中文字符图片，不过要先去理解LSTM网络和 CTC模型了。
