paligemma2-dhivehi-ocr-full

Model Description

This is a fine-tuned PaliGemma model for Dhivehi (Thaana script) Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The model has been merged from a LoRA adapter into a standalone model for easy deployment.

Original adapter: alakxender/paligemma2-qlora-dhivehi-ocr-224-sl-md-16k
Base model: google/paligemma2-3b-pt-224
Merged on: 2025-06-29 09:02:20

Capabilities

• Extract Dhivehi/Thaana text from images
• Handle both single-line and multi-line text
• Optimized for printed Dhivehi text recognition
• Works with various image formats and qualities

Usage

import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration

# Load the merged model (no base model loading required!)
model_id = "Serialtechlab/paligemma2-dhivehi-ocr-full"
model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Load your image
image = Image.open("your_image.png")

# Prepare inputs
prompt = "<image>What text is written in this image?"
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt")

# Move to GPU
for k, v in inputs.items():
    if k == "pixel_values":
        inputs[k] = v.to(torch.bfloat16).to("cuda")
    else:
        inputs[k] = v.to("cuda")

# Generate
with torch.inference_mode():
    outputs = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=500,
        do_sample=False
    )

# Decode result
result = processor.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
dhivehi_text = result.replace(prompt, "").strip()
print(f"Extracted text: " + dhivehi_text)

Model Details

• Architecture: PaliGemma (Vision-Language Model)
• Fine-tuning: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
• Training data: Dhivehi text images
• Language: Dhivehi (Thaana script)
• Model size: ~5.9GB (merged weights)

Performance

This model provides accurate Dhivehi text extraction from images with good performance on:

• Printed text
• Various font sizes
• Different image qualities
• Single and multi-line text layouts

Limitations

• Optimized for printed text (handwritten text may have lower accuracy)
• Performance depends on image quality and text clarity
• Best results with high-contrast, clear images

Training Details

• Base model: google/paligemma2-3b-pt-224
• Fine-tuning method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
• Target modules: Vision and language model layers
• Rank: 16
• Alpha: 32
