Multi-Oriented and Multi-Lingual Scene Text Detection With Direct Regression.

Multi-oriented and multi-lingual scene text detection plays an important role in computer vision area and is challenging due to the wide variety of text and background. In this paper, first, we point out the two key tasks when extending convolutional neural network (CNN)-based object detection frameworks to scene text detection. The first task is to localize the text region by a downsampled segmen...
