Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

This is an effort to document what is known about Google's (Blogger's/Blogspot's) image URL parameters. Some of these options were taken from existing first or third party documentation (see the links at the end of this document), but the majority is based off my own investigations.

Where to use them?

  • On Blogger's image URL's: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF7u67HQE1M/VHc8S8qJTDI/AAAAAAAACxI/UD-11c63diQ/s1600/005.png
  • On just about any googleusercontent image URL: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Jvmz11cLrvNIHG_LWjVO9B-UV2IN4Cfk1pycbhWZl6IriMgCAGCOFuBRtoHaiZ6xeVGqCugZcCql=w176-h176-n-o

Replace the bolded parts with the parameters.

Using Python 3.x and Google Cloud Vision API to OCR scanned documents to extract structured data

Using Python 3 + Google Cloud Vision API's OCR to extract text from photos and scanned documents

Just a quickie test in Python 3 (using Requests) to see if Google Cloud Vision can be used to effectively OCR a scanned data table and preserve its structure, in the way that products such as ABBYY FineReader can OCR an image and provide Excel-ready output.

The short answer: No. While Cloud Vision provides bounding polygon coordinates in its output, it doesn't provide it at the word or region level, which would be needed to then calculate the data delimiters.

On the other hand, the OCR quality is pretty good, if you just need to identify text anywhere in an image, without regards to its physical coordinates. I've included two examples:
