📖 Book Cover Analyzer

An AI-powered book cover analysis tool that automatically detects:

• 📚 Book Title - Inferred from detected text
• ✍️ Author(s) - Extracted using heuristics
• 🏢 Publisher - Identified from text positioning
• 🖼️ Visual Elements - Classified using ResNet18 (ImageNet)
• 📝 All Text - Extracted using EasyOCR

Technologies

• Computer Vision: OpenCV
• Deep Learning: PyTorch ResNet18
• OCR: EasyOCR
• Interface: Gradio

How It Works

1. Text Detection: EasyOCR extracts all text regions
2. Text Interpretation: Heuristics infer title/author/publisher based on position and formatting
3. Image Classification: ResNet18 classifies visual elements (book jacket, person, etc.)
4. Smart Analysis: Combines OCR + computer vision for comprehensive results
