OCR Image Text Detection and Image Manipulation Project

Developed as a course project, the main goal behind this project was to test ability to learn and use python libraries, use openCV to detect faces, tesseract to do optical character recognition and ability to use PIL to composite images together into contact sheets. 

Task was to write python code which allows one to search through the images looking for occurrences of keywords and faces, to perform text detection on newspaper images data and  return a contact sheet of all the faces which were located on the newspaper page which mentions that text.

I divided whole task into subtasks into functions like, get files, binarise, to check is string is found, to chow faces, to show sheet,  building contact sheet and used libraries to achieve each task, like for images used PIL, cv2, etc
