Detecting the text in the image and localise it using a bounding box. The text can be in any shape and size. We need to localise all such instances of text in the entire image along with bounding box for each word.

EAST: An Efficient and Accurate Scene Text Detector

PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR CVPR 2017

Previous approaches for scene text detection have already achieved promising performances across various benchmarks.

Shape Robust Text Detection with Progressive Scale Expansion Network

PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR CVPR 2019

Due to the fact that there are large geometrical margins among the minimal scale kernels, our method is effective to split the close text instances, making it easier to use segmentation-based methods to detect arbitrary-shaped text instances.

Character Region Awareness for Text Detection

JaidedAI/EasyOCR CVPR 2019

Scene text detection methods based on neural networks have emerged recently and have shown promising results.

Real-time Scene Text Detection with Differentiable Binarization

MhLiao/DB 20 Nov 2019

Recently, segmentation-based methods are quite popular in scene text detection, as the segmentation results can more accurately describe scene text of various shapes such as curve text.

ABCNet: Real-time Scene Text Spotting with Adaptive Bezier-Curve Network

aim-uofa/AdelaiDet CVPR 2020

Our contributions are three-fold: 1) For the first time, we adaptively fit arbitrarily-shaped text by a parameterized Bezier curve.

Shape Robust Text Detection with Progressive Scale Expansion Network

whai362/PSENet 7 Jun 2018

To address these problems, we propose a novel Progressive Scale Expansion Network (PSENet), designed as a segmentation-based detector with multiple predictions for each text instance.

Fourier Contour Embedding for Arbitrary-Shaped Text Detection

PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR CVPR 2021 2021

One of the main challenges for arbitrary-shaped text detection is to design a good text instance representation that allows networks to learn diverse text geometry variances.

FOTS: Fast Oriented Text Spotting with a Unified Network

jiangxiluning/FOTS.PyTorch CVPR 2018

Incidental scene text spotting is considered one of the most difficult and valuable challenges in the document analysis community.

Detecting Oriented Text in Natural Images by Linking Segments

dengdan/seglink CVPR 2017

It achieves an f-measure of 75. 0% on the standard ICDAR 2015 Incidental (Challenge 4) benchmark, outperforming the previous best by a large margin.

Efficient and Accurate Arbitrary-Shaped Text Detection with Pixel Aggregation Network

whai362/pan_pp.pytorch ICCV 2019

Recently, some methods have been proposed to tackle arbitrary-shaped text detection, but they rarely take the speed of the entire pipeline into consideration, which may fall short in practical applications. In this paper, we propose an efficient and accurate arbitrary-shaped text detector, termed Pixel Aggregation Network (PAN), which is equipped with a low computational-cost segmentation head and a learnable post-processing.
