In this paper, we introduce a new dataset of room interior pictures with overlaying and scene text, totalling to 4836 annotated images in 25 product categories. We provide details on the collection and annotation process of our dataset, and analyze its statistics. Furthermore, we propose a baseline method for overlaying text detection, that leverages the character region-aware text detection framework to guide the classification model. We validate our approach and show its efficiency in terms of binary classification metrics, reaching the final performance of 0.95 F1 score, with false positive and false negative rates of 0.02 and 0.06 correspondingly.
