EasyOCR-wrapper

Description

Wrapper for EasyOCR end-to-end text detection and recognition. The wrapper takes a VideoDocument with SWT TimeFrame annotations and returns BoundingBox and TextDocument aligned with TimePoint annotations from the middle frame of each TimeFrame.

EasyOCR seems to handle reading order, but there isn't much documentation regarding the implementation. Regardless, the BoundingBoxes and TextDocuments are ordered within each TimePoint so reading order can be inferred from the annotation ids.

Here's the framework from the EasyOCR repo:
