Recently, video scene text detection has received increasing attention due to its comprehensive applications. However, the lack of annotated scene text video datasets has become one of the most important problems, which hinders the…
In this paper, we propose a novel scene text detection method named TextMountain. The key idea of TextMountain is making full use of border-center information. Different from previous works that treat center-border as a binary…
Current video text spotting methods can achieve preferable performance, powered with sufficient labeled training data. However, labeling data manually is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To overcome this, using low-cost synthetic data is…
Modern visual object trackers show impressive results on general targets, yet their performance drops substantially when dealing with scene text. Although currently underexplored, tracking text in videos is essential for dynamic text…
Text-Video retrieval is a task of great practical value and has received increasing attention, among which learning spatial-temporal video representation is one of the research hotspots. The video encoders in the state-of-the-art video…
Anomaly identification is highly dependent on the relationship between the object and the scene, as different/same object actions in same/different scenes may lead to various degrees of normality and anomaly. Therefore, object-scene…
Connectionist temporal classification (CTC)-based scene text recognition (STR) methods, e.g., SVTR, are widely employed in OCR applications, mainly due to their simple architecture, which only contains a visual model and a CTC-aligned…
Video text detection is considered as one of the most difficult tasks in document analysis due to the following two challenges: 1) the difficulties caused by video scenes, i.e., motion blur, illumination changes, and occlusion; 2) the…
Most state-of-the-art scene text detection algorithms are deep learning based methods that depend on bounding box regression and perform at least two kinds of predictions: text/non-text classification and location regression. Regression…
Scene Text Recognition (STR), the task of recognizing text against complex image backgrounds, is an active area of research. Current state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods still struggle to recognize text written in arbitrary shapes. In this…
Temporal sentence grounding in videos (TSGV), \aka natural language video localization (NLVL) or video moment retrieval (VMR), aims to retrieve a temporal moment that semantically corresponds to a language query from an untrimmed video.…
Streaming video recognition reasons about objects and their actions in every frame of a video. A good streaming recognition model captures both long-term dynamics and short-term changes of video. Unfortunately, in most existing methods, the…
Segmentation-based scene text detection methods have been widely adopted for arbitrary-shaped text detection recently, since they make accurate pixel-level predictions on curved text instances and can facilitate real-time inference without…
Prior works on text-based video moment localization focus on temporally grounding the textual query in an untrimmed video. These works assume that the relevant video is already known and attempt to localize the moment on that relevant video…
Recent video text spotting methods usually require the three-staged pipeline, i.e., detecting text in individual images, recognizing localized text, tracking text streams with post-processing to generate final results. These methods…
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. However, the post-processing of binarization is…
In this paper, we investigate a weakly-supervised object detection framework. Most existing frameworks focus on using static images to learn object detectors. However, these detectors often fail to generalize to videos because of the…
Previous approaches for scene text detection have already achieved promising performances across various benchmarks. However, they usually fall short when dealing with challenging scenarios, even when equipped with deep neural network…
Due to the significant increase of communications between individuals via social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin) or electronic formats (email, web, e-publication) in the past two decades, network analysis has become a unavoidable…
Temporal moment localization aims to retrieve the best video segment matching a moment specified by a query. The existing methods generate the visual and semantic embeddings independently and fuse them without full consideration of the…
