In this paper we introduce a new method for text detection in natural images. The method comprises two contributions: First, a fast and scalable engine to generate synthetic images of text in clutter. This engine overlays synthetic text to…
We present region-based, fully convolutional networks for accurate and efficient object detection. In contrast to previous region-based detectors such as Fast/Faster R-CNN that apply a costly per-region subnetwork hundreds of times, our…
Lensless cameras are characterized by several advantages (e.g., miniaturization, ease of manufacture, and low cost) as compared with conventional cameras. However, they have not been extensively employed due to their poor image clarity and…
We present a context aware object detection method based on a retrieve-and-transform scene layout model. Given an input image, our approach first retrieves a coarse scene layout from a codebook of typical layout templates. In order to…
Recently, a series of decomposition-based scene text detection methods has achieved impressive progress by decomposing challenging text regions into pieces and linking them in a bottom-up manner. However, most of them merely focus on…
Scene text recognition is a hot research topic in computer vision. Recently, many recognition methods based on the encoder-decoder framework have been proposed, and they can handle scene texts of perspective distortion and curve shape.…
This paper proposes a shape anchor guided learning strategy (AncLearn) for robust holistic indoor scene understanding. We observe that the search space constructed by current methods for proposal feature grouping and instance point sampling…
Although current text detection algorithms demonstrate effectiveness in general scenarios, their performance declines when confronted with artistic-style text featuring complex structures. This paper proposes a method that utilizes…
We study the problem of object detection over scanned images of scientific documents. We consider images that contain objects of varying aspect ratios and sizes and range from coarse elements such as tables and figures to fine elements such…
Most text detection methods hypothesize texts are horizontal or multi-oriented and thus define quadrangles as the basic detection unit. However, text in the wild is usually perspectively distorted or curved, which can not be easily tackled…
Existing works often focus on reducing the architecture redundancy for accelerating image classification but ignore the spatial redundancy of the input image. This paper proposes an efficient image classification pipeline to solve this…
Contour based scene text detection methods have rapidly developed recently, but still suffer from inaccurate frontend contour initialization, multi-stage error accumulation, or deficient local information aggregation. To tackle these…
Automatic detection of scene texts in the wild is a challenging problem, particularly due to the difficulties in handling (i) occlusions of varying percentages, (ii) widely different scales and orientations, (iii) severe degradations in the…
Object detection often suffers from a plenty of bootless proposals, selecting high quality proposals remains a great challenge. In this paper, we propose a semantic, class-specific approach to re-rank object proposals, which can…
In CNN-based object detection methods, region proposal becomes a bottleneck when objects exhibit significant scale variation, occlusion or truncation. In addition, these methods mainly focus on 2D object detection and cannot estimate…
Text recognition has attracted considerable research interests because of its various applications. The cutting-edge text recognition methods are based on attention mechanisms. However, most of attention methods usually suffer from serious…
