QT 、tesseract and Block thread parallel computation（分块线程并行计算）

对于多线程加速，网络博客上有很多种方法，openmp 和QtConcurrent都能够实现一定的加速，然而我使用相应的函数并没有想象中那么友好。准确来说，不止我一个遇到了这样的问题，加速效果不明显等等。还是直接写代码加速的效果明显。采用thread编写多线程，重写run函数。

• There are many ways to speed up multiple threads on the web blog. Both OpenMP and QtConcurrent are capable of some speed up, but My use of the corresponding functions is not as friendly as I thought.To be precise, I'm not the only one who has this problem, the acceleration is not obvious, etc.Or just write code to speed up the effect is obvious.Use thread to write multithreaded, rewrite the run function.

            {
                ;
            }
            QTextStream in(&file);
            in << j <<"---"<< str << "\n";
            file.close();

    *this->isFinish = 1;

}

加速效果很明显，原来不采用加速的时间为9s，采用多线程加速时间为4s。对于172个cell的识别，未采用多线程时间为37s，采用多线程时间为15s。

• The acceleration effect is obvious. The original acceleration time is 9s, and the multi-thread acceleration time is 4s.For the identification of 172 cells, the time without multi-threading was 37s and the time with multi-threading was 15s.

no thread： 

thread：

接下来就是线程的启动调用，将待识别的图像进行分块，等分N块，开启N线程进行并行加速计算。参考我的代码：

• Next is the startup call of the thread. The image to be recognized is partitioned into N equal blocks, and N thread is started for parallel acceleration calculation.Refer to my code:

#if 1 //C++调用tesseract模型实现识别
character_tesseract character_tesseract;
std::tuple<QString,double,bool> tesseract_data;
QString OutText;
double confindence_value = 0.0;
bool isInitSuccess = false;

#if 1 //开启线程加速
//开启线程
for(int i = 0; i < page->tables.size(); i++)
{
	 int cellNum = page->tables[i].cells.size();
	 int threadNum = 4;
	 if(threadNum > cellNum)
	 {//用1个线程
		 int  isfinish1 = 0;
		 MyThread * thread1 = new MyThread(&(page->tables[i]),&isfinish1,0, page->tables[i].cells.size());
		 thread1->start();
		 while(isfinish1 == 0)
		 {
			 QTime dieTime = QTime::currentTime().addMSecs(500);
				 while( QTime::currentTime() < dieTime )
					 QCoreApplication::processEvents(QEventLoop::AllEvents, 100);
				 qDebug()<<"用1线程NO完成-----------------------------------------------------";
		 }
		 qDebug()<<"用1线程完成-----------------------------------------------------";
	 }
	 else
	 {
		 int  isfinish1 = 0;
		 MyThread * thread1 = new MyThread(&(page->tables[i]),&isfinish1,0,floor(page->tables[i].cells.size() *0.25) );
		 thread1->start();

		 int  isfinish2 = 0;
		 MyThread * thread2 = new MyThread(&(page->tables[i]),&isfinish2,floor(page->tables[i].cells.size() *0.25), floor(page->tables[i].cells.size() *0.5));
		 thread2->start();

		 int  isfinish3 = 0;
		 MyThread * thread3 = new MyThread(&(page->tables[i]),&isfinish3,floor(page->tables[i].cells.size() *0.5),floor(page->tables[i].cells.size() *0.75));
		 thread3->start();

		 int  isfinish4 = 0;
		 MyThread * thread4 = new MyThread(&(page->tables[i]),&isfinish4,floor(page->tables[i].cells.size() *0.75), page->tables[i].cells.size());
		 thread4->start();
