# DeepSeek-OCR Technical Investigation Report

**Date:** 2025-11-01
**Investigator:** Senior Developer & Architect
**Purpose:** Understand the complete pipeline for text compression through visual rendering

---

## Executive Summary

**CRITICAL FINDING:** This repository **DOES NOT** contain text-to-image rendering code. It only implements the **OCR (Optical Character Recognition)** component that extracts text FROM images, not creates images FROM text.

### What the Paper Describes vs. What the Code Contains

**Paper Concept ("Contexts Optical Compression"):**
```
TEXT (many tokens) → IMAGE (2D rendering) → VISION TOKENS (compressed) → TEXT (decoded)

## 1. Project Architecture Overview

### 1.1 Core Components

The DeepSeek-OCR project consists of two main implementations:

1. **vLLM-based implementation** (`DeepSeek-OCR-vllm/`)
   - Production-ready with high throughput
   - Supports batch processing and concurrency
   - Optimized for A100 GPUs

2. **HuggingFace Transformers implementation** (`DeepSeek-OCR-hf/`)
   - Research/development friendly
   - Easier to modify and experiment with
   - Direct model inference API

## 2. Complete Data Flow Pipeline

### 2.1 Input Formats Supported

**Supported:**
- ✅ PDF files (`.pdf`)
- ✅ Image files (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.jpeg`)

**NOT Supported (text-to-image rendering):**
- ❌ Plain text files (`.txt`)
- ❌ Markdown files (`.md`)
- ❌ Text-to-image conversion utilities

### 2.2 Pipeline Stages

#### Stage 1: Input Loading

**For PDF files:**
```python
# File: run_dpsk_ocr_pdf.py, lines 64-95

def pdf_to_images_high_quality(pdf_path, dpi=144, image_format="PNG"):
    """
    Converts PDF pages to images using PyMuPDF (fitz)

    Library: PyMuPDF (fitz)
    Parameters:
        - dpi: 144 (default) - Controls output resolution
        - zoom: dpi/72.0 = 2.0x - Scaling factor
        - image_format: "PNG" - Output format

    Returns: List of PIL Image objects (one per page)
    """
    images = []
    pdf_document = fitz.open(pdf_path)

    # Calculate zoom based on DPI (144 DPI = 2x zoom from 72 DPI base)
    zoom = dpi / 72.0  # zoom = 2.0
    matrix = fitz.Matrix(zoom, zoom)

    for page_num in range(pdf_document.page_count):
        page = pdf_document[page_num]

        # Render page to pixmap
        pixmap = page.get_pixmap(matrix=matrix, alpha=False)

        # Convert to PIL Image
        img_data = pixmap.tobytes("png")
        img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(img_data))

        if img.mode in ('RGBA', 'LA'):
            background = Image.new('RGB', img.size, (255, 255, 255))
            background.paste(img, mask=img.split()[-1] if img.mode == 'RGBA' else None)
            img = background

        images.append(img)

    pdf_document.close()
    return images
```

**Key Parameters:**
- **DPI:** 144 (default) produces images at 2x the base resolution
- **Format:** PNG intermediate format, converted to RGB mode
- **Pages per image:** 1 page = 1 image (no multi-page compression into single image)

**For image files:**
```python
# File: run_dpsk_ocr_image.py, lines 28-42

def load_image(image_path):
    """
    Loads image and handles EXIF orientation

    Library: PIL/Pillow

        return corrected_image
    except Exception as e:
        return Image.open(image_path)
```

#### Stage 2: Image Preprocessing

**Location:** `process/image_process.py`, class `DeepseekOCRProcessor`

**Configuration modes** (from `config.py`, lines 1-6):
```python
# Five resolution modes supported:

# 1. Tiny Mode
BASE_SIZE = 512, IMAGE_SIZE = 512, CROP_MODE = False
# → 64 vision tokens per image

# 2. Small Mode
BASE_SIZE = 640, IMAGE_SIZE = 640, CROP_MODE = False
# → 100 vision tokens per image

# 3. Base Mode
BASE_SIZE = 1024, IMAGE_SIZE = 1024, CROP_MODE = False
# → 256 vision tokens per image

# 4. Large Mode
BASE_SIZE = 1280, IMAGE_SIZE = 1280, CROP_MODE = False
# → 400 vision tokens per image

# 5. Gundam Mode (Dynamic Resolution - RECOMMENDED)
BASE_SIZE = 1024, IMAGE_SIZE = 640, CROP_MODE = True
# → Variable tokens: n×100 + 256 (adaptive based on image size)
```

**Current default** (lines 8-10):
```python
BASE_SIZE = 1024
IMAGE_SIZE = 640
CROP_MODE = True  # Gundam mode - dynamic resolution
```

**Preprocessing Algorithm:**

```python

def tokenize_with_images(self, images, bos=True, eos=True, cropping=True):
    """

**Dynamic Preprocessing Details:**

```python
# File: process/image_process.py, lines 45-83

    2. Generate candidate tile layouts (e.g., 1×2, 2×2, 2×3, 3×3, etc.)
    3. Find closest aspect ratio match
    4. Resize image to fit tile grid perfectly
    5. Crop into individual tiles

    Example:

```python
# File: process/image_process.py, lines 424-436

# Global view tokens (always present)
num_queries = math.ceil((IMAGE_SIZE // patch_size) / downsample_ratio)
num_queries_base = math.ceil((BASE_SIZE // patch_size) / downsample_ratio)

# For BASE_SIZE=1024, patch_size=16, downsample=4:

    [<image>] * num_queries_base + [<image>]  # Row of tokens + newline
) * num_queries_base  # Repeated for each row
tokenized_image += [<image>]  # View separator

# For BASE_SIZE=1024:
# Global tokens = (16 + 1) * 16 + 1 = 273 tokens

# Local crop tokens (if multi-tile):
if num_width_tiles > 1 or num_height_tiles > 1:
    # For IMAGE_SIZE=640, each tile produces:
    # num_queries = ceil((640 / 16) / 4) = ceil(40 / 4) = 10

    local_tokens = (
        ([<image>] * (num_queries * num_width_tiles) + [<image>])
    ) * (num_queries * num_height_tiles)

    tokenized_image += local_tokens

# Example: 3×2 tile layout with 640×640 tiles
# Local tokens = ((10 * 3) + 1) * (10 * 2) = 31 * 20 = 620 tokens
# Total = 273 (global) + 620 (local) = 893 vision tokens

])
```

## 4. Compression Mechanism (Vision Token Efficiency)

### 4.1 Token Compression Ratios

The "compression" in DeepSeek-OCR refers to **vision tokens vs text tokens**, not creating images from text.

**Example calculation:**

```
Input PDF Page:
- Contains 5,000 text tokens worth of content
- Rendered at 1920×1080 pixels

Processing:
1. Convert PDF page to image (PyMuPDF)
2. Split into 3×2 grid = 6 tiles (640×640 each)
3. Vision encoding:
   - Global view: 273 tokens (1024×1024 base)
   - Local crops: 6 × 100 = 600 tokens (640×640 tiles)
   - Total: 873 vision tokens

Compression ratio:
- 5,000 text tokens → 873 vision tokens
- Ratio: 5.7×compression
```

### 4.2 Vision Token Calculation Formula

```python
# Global view (always present):
h_base = w_base = ceil((BASE_SIZE / patch_size) / downsample_ratio)
global_tokens = h_base * (w_base + 1) + 1

# Example: BASE_SIZE=1024, patch=16, downsample=4
# h_base = ceil((1024 / 16) / 4) = 16
# global_tokens = 16 * (16 + 1) + 1 = 273

# Local crops (if CROP_MODE=True and image > 640×640):
num_tiles = num_width_tiles × num_height_tiles
h_crop = w_crop = ceil((IMAGE_SIZE / patch_size) / downsample_ratio)
local_tokens_per_tile = h_crop * (w_crop + 1)
local_tokens_total = local_tokens_per_tile * num_tiles

# Example: IMAGE_SIZE=640, 3×2 tiles
# h_crop = ceil((640 / 16) / 4) = 10
# local_tokens_per_tile = 10 * (10 + 1) = 110
# local_tokens_total = 110 * 6 = 660

# Total:
total_vision_tokens = global_tokens + local_tokens_total
# = 273 + 660 = 933 tokens
```

### 4.3 Supported Resolution Modes Summary

| Mode | BASE_SIZE | IMAGE_SIZE | CROP_MODE | Tokens/Image | Use Case |
|------|-----------|------------|-----------|--------------|----------|
| Tiny | 512 | 512 | False | 64 | Ultra-fast, low quality |
| Small | 640 | 640 | False | 100 | Fast, decent quality |
| Base | 1024 | 1024 | False | 256 | Balanced |
| Large | 1280 | 1280 | False | 400 | High quality, single view |
| **Gundam (Default)** | 1024 | 640 | True | 273 + n×100 | **Dynamic, best quality** |

**Gundam mode** is the recommended setting as it:
- Uses high-resolution base view (1024×1024)
- Adds adaptive local crops for large images
- Balances quality and efficiency

## 5. Execution Examples

### 5.1 PDF Processing (Batch)

```bash
# Configuration in config.py:
MODEL_PATH = 'deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR'
INPUT_PATH = '/path/to/document.pdf'
OUTPUT_PATH = '/path/to/output/'
PROMPT = '<image>\n<|grounding|>Convert the document to markdown.'

BASE_SIZE = 1024
IMAGE_SIZE = 640
CROP_MODE = True
MAX_CONCURRENCY = 100
NUM_WORKERS = 64

# Run:
cd DeepSeek-OCR-master/DeepSeek-OCR-vllm
python run_dpsk_ocr_pdf.py
```

**Execution flow:**
```
1. Load PDF → Convert all pages to images (DPI=144)
2. Preprocess images in parallel (NUM_WORKERS=64 threads)
3. Batch inference with vLLM (MAX_CONCURRENCY=100)
4. Post-process outputs (extract images, draw boxes)
5. Save markdown + annotated PDF
```

**Performance:**
- Single A100-40G: ~2500 tokens/sec
- Throughput: 200,000+ pages/day in production

### 5.2 Single Image Processing (Streaming)

```bash
cd DeepSeek-OCR-master/DeepSeek-OCR-vllm
python run_dpsk_ocr_image.py
```

**Features:**
- Async streaming output (see results as they generate)
- Real-time visualization of detected regions
- Lower GPU memory usage

### 5.3 HuggingFace Transformers (Simple)

```python
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

model_name = 'deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    _attn_implementation='flash_attention_2',
    trust_remote_code=True
).eval().cuda().to(torch.bfloat16)

prompt = "<image>\n<|grounding|>Convert the document to markdown."
image_file = 'document.jpg'
output_path = './output'

res = model.infer(
    tokenizer,
    prompt=prompt,
    image_file=image_file,
    output_path=output_path,
    base_size=1024,      # Global view resolution
    image_size=640,      # Crop tile size
    crop_mode=True,      # Enable dynamic cropping
    save_results=True,   # Save annotated images
    test_compress=True   # Print compression stats
)
```

## 6. CRITICAL MISSING COMPONENT: Text-to-Image Rendering

### 6.1 What is NOT in This Repository

**The following are NOT implemented:**

❌ **Text file to image conversion**
```python
# This does NOT exist in the codebase:
def text_to_image(text_file, output_image):
    """Convert .txt file to rendered image"""
    # NOT IMPLEMENTED
```

❌ **Markdown to image rendering**
```python
# This does NOT exist:
def markdown_to_image(md_file, output_image):
    """Render markdown as image"""
    # NOT IMPLEMENTED
```

❌ **Long context text compression demo**
```python
# This does NOT exist:
def compress_text_via_vision(long_text):
    """
    1. Render text to image
    2. Extract vision tokens
    3. Return compressed representation
    """
    # NOT IMPLEMENTED
```

### 6.2 How the Paper's Compression Concept Would Work

**Hypothetical complete pipeline** (Paper concept, not in repo):

```
Step 1: TEXT → IMAGE (NOT IN REPO)
-----------------------------------------
Input: long_document.txt (10,000 tokens)
Library needed: reportlab, weasyprint, matplotlib, or custom renderer
Parameters needed:
    - Font: family, size, weight
    - Page size: A4, Letter, custom
    - Layout: margins, line spacing, columns
    - Colors: text, background
Output: rendered_pages/ (multiple PNG/PDF pages)

Step 2: IMAGE → VISION TOKENS (IN REPO)
-----------------------------------------
Input: rendered_pages/*.png
Library: DeepSeek-OCR (this repo)
Process: Dynamic preprocessing → Vision encoding
Output: 800-1000 vision tokens (compressed representation)

Step 3: VISION TOKENS → TEXT (IN REPO)
-----------------------------------------
Input: Vision tokens
Library: DeepSeek-OCR decoder
Process: LLM decoding with vision embeddings
Output: Reconstructed text (OCR result)

Compression achieved: 10,000 text tokens → 800 vision tokens = 12.5× compression
```

### 6.3 Why Text Rendering is Missing

The repository only implements the **OCR/Vision component** because:

1. **Use Case Focus:** The primary use case is document OCR, not text compression
2. **Input Assumption:** Documents already exist as PDFs or images
3. **Research Scope:** The paper focuses on vision encoder efficiency, not rendering

For the compression experiments in the paper, the text-to-image rendering was likely done using:
- Standard document rendering tools (LaTeX, Pandoc, browser engines)
- Separate preprocessing scripts not included in this release
- Existing document datasets (papers, books) already in PDF format

## 7. How to Reproduce Text Compression (Hypothetical)

If you wanted to implement the full text compression pipeline:

### 7.1 Option 1: PDF Rendering (Recommended)

```python
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch

def text_to_pdf(text_content, output_pdf):
    """
    Render text to PDF using ReportLab

    Libraries: reportlab
    Parameters:
        - Page size: A4 (595×842 points)
        - Font: Helvetica, 12pt
        - Margins: 1 inch
    """
    c = canvas.Canvas(output_pdf, pagesize=A4)
    width, height = A4

    # Setup
    c.setFont("Helvetica", 12)
    margin = 1 * inch
    y_position = height - margin
    line_height = 14

    # Split text into lines
    lines = text_content.split('\n')

    for line in lines:
        # Wrap long lines
        while len(line) > 80:
            c.drawString(margin, y_position, line[:80])
            line = line[80:]
            y_position -= line_height

            if y_position < margin:
                c.showPage()
                c.setFont("Helvetica", 12)
                y_position = height - margin

        c.drawString(margin, y_position, line)
        y_position -= line_height

        if y_position < margin:
            c.showPage()
            c.setFont("Helvetica", 12)
            y_position = height - margin

    c.save()

# Then use DeepSeek-OCR on the generated PDF
```

### 7.2 Option 2: Direct Image Rendering

```python
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

def text_to_image(text_content, output_image,
                  page_size=(1920, 2560),

                  chars_per_line=80,
                  lines_per_page=60):
    """

        - Layout: 80 chars/line, 60 lines/page

    Pages per image: 1 (create multiple images for long text)
    """
    # Create blank image
    img = Image.new('RGB', page_size, color='white')
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

    try:
        font = ImageFont.truetype("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf", font_size)
    except:
        font = ImageFont.load_default()

    # Calculate positions
    x_margin = 100
    y_margin = 100
    line_spacing = font_size + 10

    # Split and wrap text
    lines = []
    for paragraph in text_content.split('\n'):
        while len(paragraph) > chars_per_line:
            lines.append(paragraph[:chars_per_line])
            paragraph = paragraph[chars_per_line:]
        lines.append(paragraph)

    # Draw text
    y_position = y_margin
    for i, line in enumerate(lines[:lines_per_page]):
        draw.text((x_margin, y_position), line, font=font, fill='black')
        y_position += line_spacing

    img.save(output_image)

    # For multiple pages, repeat with remaining lines
    if len(lines) > lines_per_page:
        remaining_text = '\n'.join(lines[lines_per_page:])
        text_to_image(remaining_text, output_image.replace('.png', '_page2.png'), ...)

# Then use DeepSeek-OCR on the generated images
```

### 7.3 Option 3: Markdown/HTML Rendering

```python
import markdown
from weasyprint import HTML

    """
    Render markdown to PDF via HTML

    Libraries: markdown, weasyprint

    Process:

    <head>
        <style>

        {html_content}
    </body>
    </html>
    """

    # Render to PDF
    HTML(string=styled_html).write_pdf(output_pdf)

# Then use DeepSeek-OCR on the generated PDF
```

### 7.4 Complete Compression Pipeline

```python
# Step 1: Render text to PDF/images (NOT in repo - you implement)
text_to_pdf("long_context.txt", "rendered.pdf")

# Step 2: Process with DeepSeek-OCR (IN repo)
from run_dpsk_ocr_pdf import pdf_to_images_high_quality
from deepseek_ocr import DeepseekOCRForCausalLM

## 12. Summary and Conclusions

### 12.1 What This Repository DOES Provide

✅ **Complete OCR Pipeline:**
- PDF to images conversion (PyMuPDF)
- Image preprocessing with dynamic resolution
- Dual vision encoding (SAM + CLIP)
- LLM-based text extraction
- Bounding box detection and visualization
- Markdown output generation

✅ **Production-Ready Implementation:**
- vLLM integration for high throughput
- Batch processing support
- 200,000+ pages/day capacity
- GPU memory optimization

✅ **Multiple Resolution Modes:**
- Tiny (64 tokens) to Large (400 tokens)
- Dynamic Gundam mode (adaptive)
- Configurable cropping strategies

### 12.2 What This Repository DOES NOT Provide

❌ **Text-to-Image Rendering:**
- No .txt → image conversion
- No markdown → PDF rendering
- No long-context text compression utilities
- No text layout/formatting engines

❌ **Compression Demos:**
- No complete compression pipeline
- No text → image → vision tokens workflow
- Must implement rendering separately

### 12.3 Key Technical Findings

**Image Processing:**
- Library: **PyMuPDF (fitz)** for PDF conversion
- DPI: **144** (2× base resolution)
- Pages per image: **1:1 mapping** (no multi-page compression)

**Vision Encoding:**
- Dual encoders: **SAM ViT-B** + **CLIP-L**
- Feature fusion: **Concatenation** (2048-dim)
- Projection: **Linear MLP** (→ 1280-dim)
- Token layout: **2D grid with newlines**

**Dynamic Resolution:**
- Small images (≤640×640): Single view, 100 tokens
- Large images (>640×640): Global (1024×1024) + Local crops (N×640×640)
- Adaptive tiling: 2-6 tiles based on aspect ratio

**Performance:**
- A100-40G: ~2500 tokens/sec
- Compression: 10-20× (text tokens → vision tokens)
- Accuracy: 97% at 10× compression

### 12.4 Reproducibility Assessment

**For OCR Use Case:** ✅ **Fully Reproducible**
- All code, models, and parameters documented
- Clear execution steps and examples
- Production-tested implementation

**For Text Compression:** ⚠️ **Partially Reproducible**
- OCR component: ✅ Complete
- Text rendering: ❌ Missing (must implement separately)
- Integration: Requires custom preprocessing

### 12.5 Recommendations

**To Use This Repository As-Is:**
```bash
# Process existing PDFs/images → Markdown extraction
python run_dpsk_ocr_pdf.py
```

**To Implement Full Compression Pipeline:**
1. Implement text rendering (reportlab/weasyprint)
2. Generate PDF/images from text
3. Process with DeepSeek-OCR
4. Compare compression ratios

**Optimal Configuration for Production:**
```python
BASE_SIZE = 1024      # High-quality global view
IMAGE_SIZE = 640      # Balanced local detail
CROP_MODE = True      # Enable adaptive tiling
MAX_CROPS = 6         # Safe for 40GB GPUs
MAX_CONCURRENCY = 100 # Maximize throughput
```
