环境准备与部署

1. 安装PaddleOCR服务端

首先在服务器端部署PaddleOCR服务：

# 安装PaddlePaddle框架
pip install paddlepaddle

# 安装PaddleOCR
pip install paddleocr

# 安装PaddleX服务插件
pip install paddlex
paddlex --install serving

2. 启动OCR服务

启动通用的OCR管道服务：

# 启动PP-OCRv5服务
paddlex --serve --pipeline OCR --port 8080

# 启动PP-StructureV3文档解析服务  
paddlex --serve --pipeline PP-StructureV3 --port 8081

# 启动PP-ChatOCRv4智能文档理解服务
paddlex --serve --pipeline PP-ChatOCRv4 --port 8082

服务启动后将在指定端口提供HTTP API接口。

Node.js客户端集成

基础依赖安装

# 使用axios进行HTTP请求
npm install axios
# 或使用node-fetch
npm install node-fetch
# 处理multipart/form-data
npm install form-data

核心调用类实现

class PaddleOCRClient {
  constructor(baseURL = 'http://localhost:8080') {
    this.baseURL = baseURL;
    this.axios = require('axios').default;
  }

  /**
   * 通用OCR识别
   * @param {Buffer|string} image 图像Buffer或URL
   * @param {Object} options 配置选项
   */
  async recognizeText(image, options = {}) {
    const formData = new FormData();
    
    if (Buffer.isBuffer(image)) {
      formData.append('image', image, { filename: 'image.jpg' });
    } else {
      formData.append('image_url', image);
    }

    // 添加配置参数
    Object.keys(options).forEach(key => {
      formData.append(key, options[key]);
    });

    try {
      const response = await this.axios.post(
        `${this.baseURL}/predict`,
        formData,
        {
          headers: formData.getHeaders(),
          timeout: 30000
        }
      );
      
      return this.processOCRResult(response.data);
    } catch (error) {
      throw new Error(`OCR识别失败: ${error.message}`);
    }
  }

  /**
   * 处理OCR返回结果
   */
  processOCRResult(data) {
    if (!data || !data.results) return [];
    
    return data.results.map(result => ({
      text: result.text || '',
      confidence: result.confidence || 0,
      boundingBox: result.text_region || [],
      angle: result.angle || 0
    }));
  }

  /**
   * 批量处理多张图片
   */
  async batchRecognize(images, options = {}) {
    const results = [];
    
    for (const image of images) {
      try {
        const result = await this.recognizeText(image, options);
        results.push({ image, result, success: true });
      } catch (error) {
        results.push({ image, error: error.message, success: false });
      }
    }
    
    return results;
  }
}

完整使用示例

const fs = require('fs');
const { PaddleOCRClient } = require('./paddle-ocr-client');

async function main() {
  const ocrClient = new PaddleOCRClient('http://localhost:8080');
  
  // 示例1: 识别本地图片
  const imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./test-image.jpg');
  const result1 = await ocrClient.recognizeText(imageBuffer, {
    use_doc_orientation_classify: false,
    use_doc_unwarping: false
  });
  
  console.log('本地图片识别结果:', result1);

  // 示例2: 识别网络图片
  const result2 = await ocrClient.recognizeText(
    'https://example.com/image.png',
    { use_textline_orientation: false }
  );
  
  console.log('网络图片识别结果:', result2);

  // 示例3: 批量处理
  const images = [
    fs.readFileSync('./image1.jpg'),
    fs.readFileSync('./image2.jpg'),
    'https://example.com/image3.png'
  ];
  
  const batchResults = await ocrClient.batchRecognize(images);
  console.log('批量处理结果:', batchResults);
}

main().catch(console.error);

高级功能集成

文档结构解析（PP-StructureV3）

class DocumentParserClient extends PaddleOCRClient {
  constructor(baseURL = 'http://localhost:8081') {
    super(baseURL);
  }

  /**
   * 解析文档结构
   */
  async parseDocument(image, options = {}) {
    const formData = new FormData();
    
    if (Buffer.isBuffer(image)) {
      formData.append('image', image);
    } else {
      formData.append('image_url', image);
    }

    const response = await this.axios.post(
      `${this.baseURL}/predict`,
      formData,
      {
        headers: formData.getHeaders(),
        timeout: 60000 // 文档解析需要更长时间
      }
    );

    return this.processDocumentResult(response.data);
  }

  processDocumentResult(data) {
    return {
      markdown: data.markdown || '',
      json: data.json || {},
      layout: data.layout || [],
      tables: data.tables || []
    };
  }
}

智能文档问答（PP-ChatOCRv4）

class ChatOCRClient extends PaddleOCRClient {
  constructor(baseURL = 'http://localhost:8082') {
    super(baseURL);
  }

  /**
   * 智能文档问答
   */
  async askDocument(image, question, options = {}) {
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('image', image);
    formData.append('question', question);
    formData.append('api_key', process.env.QIANFAN_API_KEY);

    const response = await this.axios.post(
      `${this.baseURL}/chat`,
      formData,
      {
        headers: formData.getHeaders(),
        timeout: 120000
      }
    );

    return response.data.answer;
  }
}

性能优化策略

1. 连接池管理

const { Agent } = require('https');
const axios = require('axios');

// 创建连接池
const agent = new Agent({
  keepAlive: true,
  maxSockets: 100,
  maxFreeSockets: 10,
  timeout: 60000
});

const axiosInstance = axios.create({
  httpsAgent: agent,
  timeout: 30000
});

2. 请求批处理

class BatchProcessor {
  constructor(ocrClient, batchSize = 10, delay = 100) {
    this.ocrClient = ocrClient;
    this.batchSize = batchSize;
    this.delay = delay;
    this.queue = [];
    this.processing = false;
  }

  addToQueue(image, options) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      this.queue.push({ image, options, resolve, reject });
      this.processQueue();
    });
  }

  async processQueue() {
    if (this.processing || this.queue.length === 0) return;
    
    this.processing = true;
    
    while (this.queue.length > 0) {
      const batch = this.queue.splice(0, this.batchSize);
      
      try {
        const results = await Promise.all(
          batch.map(item => 
            this.ocrClient.recognizeText(item.image, item.options)
          )
        );
        
        batch.forEach((item, index) => item.resolve(results[index]));
      } catch (error) {
        batch.forEach(item => item.reject(error));
      }
      
      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, this.delay));
    }
    
    this.processing = false;
  }
}

3. 缓存策略

const NodeCache = require('node-cache');
const crypto = require('crypto');

class CachedOCRClient extends PaddleOCRClient {
  constructor(baseURL, cacheTTL = 3600) {
    super(baseURL);
    this.cache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: cacheTTL });
  }

  async recognizeText(image, options = {}) {
    const cacheKey = this.generateCacheKey(image, options);
    const cached = this.cache.get(cacheKey);
    
    if (cached) {
      return cached;
    }

    const result = await super.recognizeText(image, options);
    this.cache.set(cacheKey, result);
    
    return result;
  }

  generateCacheKey(image, options) {
    const optionsHash = crypto
      .createHash('md5')
      .update(JSON.stringify(options))
      .digest('hex');
    
    if (Buffer.isBuffer(image)) {
      const imageHash = crypto.createHash('md5').update(image).digest('hex');
      return `ocr_${imageHash}_${optionsHash}`;
    } else {
      return `ocr_${image}_${optionsHash}`;
    }
  }
}

错误处理与监控

健壮的错误处理

class RobustOCRClient extends PaddleOCRClient {
  constructor(baseURL, maxRetries = 3, retryDelay = 1000) {
    super(baseURL);
    this.maxRetries = maxRetries;
    this.retryDelay = retryDelay;
  }

  async recognizeTextWithRetry(image, options = {}, retryCount = 0) {
    try {
      return await super.recognizeText(image, options);
    } catch (error) {
      if (retryCount >= this.maxRetries) {
        throw error;
      }

      console.warn(`OCR请求失败，第${retryCount + 1}次重试...`);
      
      await new Promise(resolve => 
        setTimeout(resolve, this.retryDelay * Math.pow(2, retryCount))
      );
      
      return this.recognizeTextWithRetry(image, options, retryCount + 1);
    }
  }

  async recognizeText(image, options = {}) {
    return this.recognizeTextWithRetry(image, options);
  }
}

性能监控

const promClient = require('prom-client');

// 创建监控指标
const ocrRequestDuration = new promClient.Histogram({
  name: 'ocr_request_duration_seconds',
  help: 'Duration of OCR requests in seconds',
  labelNames: ['status']
});

const ocrRequestCount = new promClient.Counter({
  name: 'ocr_requests_total',
  help: 'Total number of OCR requests',
  labelNames: ['status']
});

class MonitoredOCRClient extends PaddleOCRClient {
  async recognizeText(image, options = {}) {
    const end = ocrRequestDuration.startTimer();
    
    try {
      const result = await super.recognizeText(image, options);
      end({ status: 'success' });
      ocrRequestCount.inc({ status: 'success' });
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      end({ status: 'error' });
      ocrRequestCount.inc({ status: 'error' });
      throw error;
    }
  }
}

实际应用场景

1. Express.js Web服务

const express = require('express');
const multer = require('multer');
const { PaddleOCRClient } = require('./paddle-ocr-client');

const app = express();
const upload = multer({ storage: multer.memoryStorage() });
const ocrClient = new PaddleOCRClient('http://localhost:8080');

app.post('/api/ocr/recognize', upload.single('image'), async (req, res) => {
  try {
    if (!req.file) {
      return res.status(400).json({ error: '请上传图片文件' });
    }

    const result = await ocrClient.recognizeText(req.file.buffer, {
      use_doc_orientation_classify: req.body.orient === 'true',
      use_doc_unwarping: req.body.unwarp === 'true'
    });

    res.json({ success: true, data: result });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ 
      success: false, 
      error: error.message 
    });
  }
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('OCR API服务运行在端口3000');
});

2. 文件上传处理中间件

const OCRMiddleware = {
  processUpload: async (req, res, next) => {
    if (!req.file) return next();
    
    try {
      const ocrResult = await ocrClient.recognizeText(req.file.buffer);
      req.ocrData = ocrResult;
      next();
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('OCR处理失败:', error);
      next(); // 继续处理，OCR失败不中断流程
    }
  }
};
