This commit/PR fixes the slowdown in
.extract_words(...)
andWordExtractor.iter_chars_to_words(...)
which occurred for very long "words", and which was caused by repeatedly re-calculating bounding box. See #483 for discussion and example.It also adds
utils.merge_bboxes(bboxes)
, which returns the smallest bounding box that contains all bounding boxes in thebboxes
argument, and which we use in the fix.
