01 / OVERVIEW

Overview

PaddleSharp brings Paddle Inference and related model workflows into .NET. Its repository documents OCR, detection, orientation, Chinese segmentation, and model conversion. Choose packages, models, and runtimes for the specific task.

02 / CAPABILITIES

Key capabilities

01

.NET bindings for the Paddle Inference C API

02

OCR, table recognition, and supported detection models

03

Platform-specific CPU / GPU runtime packages

03 / POSSIBILITIES

Ideas to explore

  • Integrate OCR and table recognition into .NET document workflows
  • Evaluate Paddle models across CPU / GPU environments
  • Explore Chinese text and image-model integration

04 / GET STARTED

Getting started

Before you begin

  • A compatible .NET environment, native runtime, and models
  • Matching CUDA and drivers for GPU packages

Get the project

dotnet add package Sdcb.PaddleOCR

Next steps

  1. Choose task-specific core, model, and runtime packages using the documentation.
  2. Start with a minimal example and validate your own images and environment.

05 / SCOPE & STATUS

Current boundaries

This wraps native Paddle Inference and requires matching platform, architecture, and runtime packages. It is not a native-dependency-free C# inference engine.

This introduction is based on the public README. Consult the repository for current versions, licenses, and supported features.
