Implementation Summary: ADB, OpenCV, and Tesseract Integration

Installation

git clone https://github.com/NatBuilds/TerminalOS.git
cd TerminalOS
pip install -r requirements.txt
python run.py

Overview

Three powerful libraries have been successfully integrated into the TerminalOS application, providing comprehensive device automation, image processing, and OCR capabilities.

What Was Created

1. Three Reusable Libraries

ADB Controller (app/libraries/adb/)

  • Class: ADBController + ADBDeviceInfo
  • Purpose: Control Android devices via ADB
  • Key Methods:
    • Device management: devices(), connect(), disconnect()
    • Input control: tap(), press(), hold(), swipe(), talk()
    • App management: open_app(), is_app_running(), install(), uninstall()
    • File transfer: push(), pull(), screenshot()
    • Shell execution: shell()
    • Device info: current_foreground_app(), running_processes()

OpenCV Image Tools (app/libraries/opencv/)

  • Class: OpenCVImageTools
  • Purpose: Image processing and computer vision
  • Key Methods:
    • I/O: load_image(), save_image(), create_blank()
    • Colors: to_grayscale(), normalize_brightness()
    • Filters: blur(), median_blur(), threshold(), detect_edges()
    • Transform: resize(), rotate(), crop()
    • Draw: draw_text(), draw_rectangle(), draw_circle(), annotate_box()

Tesseract OCR (app/libraries/ocr/)

  • Class: TesseractOCR
  • Purpose: Optical Character Recognition (text extraction)
  • Key Methods:
    • extract_text() - Get all text from image
    • extract_data() - Get text with positions and confidence
    • extract_boxes() - Get bounding boxes
    • extract_pdf() - Generate searchable PDF

2. Two Demonstration Modules

Device Tools Module (app/modules/device_tools/)

Interactive menu with 14 device control options:

  • ADB Utilities (11 options)

    • List devices, Run shell commands, Send text
    • Tap/Press/Hold/Swipe screen
    • Open apps, Check running apps
    • Show processes, Show foreground app

  • Vision Tools (3 options)

    • OpenCV image processing demo
    • Tesseract text extraction
    • Tesseract data output

Screenshot Analyzer Module (app/modules/screenshot_analyzer/)

Complete example showing all three libraries working together:

  • Captures device screenshots via ADB
  • Processes images with OpenCV (grayscale, blur, edges)
  • Extracts text with Tesseract OCR
  • Saves all outputs to screenshots/ directory
  • Includes extensive code comments explaining each step

3. Configuration Management

Extended app/core/config.py with new configuration sections:

ADB Configuration (in app/config.json):

{
  "adb": {
    "adb_executable": "adb",
    "device_serial": "",
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

OCR Configuration (in app/config.json):

{
  "ocr": {
    "tesseract_cmd": "tesseract",
    "language": "eng",
    "psm": 3,
    "oem": 3,
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

4. Dependencies

Updated requirements.txt:

opencv-python>=4.10.0.84
pytesseract>=0.3.13

Additional system requirements:

  • ADB: Android SDK Platform Tools (or system adb)
  • Tesseract: System-wide installation (choco/brew/apt)

How to Use

From Python Code

from app.libraries import ADBController, OpenCVImageTools, TesseractOCR

# All work the same way - instantiate and use
adb = ADBController()
cv = OpenCVImageTools()
ocr = TesseractOCR()

# Check availability (graceful degradation)
if not adb.is_available():
    print("ADB not available")

From CLI Menu

Run the application and navigate to:

  1. Device Tools → ADB Utilities or Vision Tools
  2. ADB Screenshot and read → Full end-to-end example

Configuration

Edit app/config.json to customize paths and settings:

{
  "adb": {
    "adb_executable": "adb",
    "device_serial": "specific_device_id",
    "timeout": 60
  },
  "ocr": {
    "tesseract_cmd": "/usr/bin/tesseract",
    "language": "eng",
    "psm": 3,
    "oem": 3,
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

Architecture

Library Design Principles

  1. Optional Dependencies: Libraries gracefully handle missing packages

    cv = OpenCVImageTools()
if not cv.is_available():
    # Skip processing

  2. Config-Driven: Read defaults from app/config.json

    # These values come from config
adb = ADBController()

  3. Exception Handling: Operations return None/False on error, log via status

    image = cv.load_image(path)
if image is None:  # Error was logged
    return

  4. Cross-Platform: Use pathlib.Path for all file operations

    path = Path(screenshot_path).expanduser()
