Text Search: Towards Fast Text Localization in Scene Images
Lei Yang, Samuel S. M. Cheng, Pramode K. Verma, Shuang Wang · 2016
We present an efficient approach to text localization. We restrict our attention to the text localization and refer to our method as 'text search'. In particular, we pre-trained a text detection ConvNet which skip the region proposal process, and integrates bounding boxes and text confidence score into the output layer. Our approach achieved similar high precision with [1], and acceptable level of recall.
