Summary of Scene Text Detection and Recognition

Abstract

In recent years, scene text recognition has received much attention, and has a wealth of application scenarios, such as: photo translation, image retrieval, scene understanding and so on. However, the text in the scene is also faced with many problems, such as: light changes, deformation text, text string recognition under background noise interference, text skew and degree of curvature, and a large number of artistic fonts. Solving the above problems will always be a challenging thing. This paper reviews some recent work on text detection, text recognition and end-to-end text detection and recognition, and finally looks forward to the future development direction.
