Models

• Text/no-text classifer (models/detnet_layers.mat). 98.2% accuracy on ICDAR 2003.
• Case-insensitive character classifier (models/charnet_layers.mat). 91.0% accuracy on ICDAR 2003.
• Case-sensitive character classifier (models/casesnet_layers.mat). 86.8% accuracy on ICDAR 2003.
• ICDAR 2003 test-bigrams classifier (models/bigramic03net_layers.mat). 72.5% accuracy on ICDAR 2003.
• SVT test-bigrams classifier (models/bigramsvtnet_layers.mat).

Data

• data/bigrams-train.mat - training data across all bigram classes.
• data/bigramsic03-train.mat - training data across ICDAR 2003 bigram classes only.
• data/case-insensitive-train.mat - case-insensitive character training data.
• data/case-sensitive-train.mat - case-sensitive character training data.
• data/icdar2003-bigrams-test.mat - test data across all bigram classes.
• data/icdar2003-bigramsic03-test.mat - test data across ICDAR 2003 bigram classes only.
• data/icdar2003-chars-test.mat - case-insensitive character test data.
• data/icdar2003-charscases-test.mat - case-sensitive character test data.

WARNING: The training datasets are comprised of data pulled from many sources, including the training datasets of other scene-text datasets (e.g. KAIST, ICDAR13, etc) so should only be used to train ICDAR03 and SVT.

Setup

1. Edit matconvnet/Makefile to ensure MEX points to your matlab mex binary. Optinally ENABLE_GPU.
2. cd matconvnet/ && make

Examples

1. fig_detmap.m
2. fig_charmap.m
3. reproduce_classifier_results.m
