Improved EAST scene text detection based on ResNet-50
Ling Zhong, Zheng Xin, Yunfeng Su · 2023
With the development of image technology and artificial intelligence, the detection and recognition of image text is increasing. Aiming at the different intensity of text size and complex background in natural scenes, this article uses an improved text detection method based on ResNet-50. ResNet is used to implement identity mapping to solve the problem of redundant layers in deep networks, avoiding gradient descent or gradient explosion, thereby improving the overall performance of the algorithm. Compared with the EAST algorithm, this method improves the F value by 1.79 % on the ICDAR2015 dataset.
