FASText
FASText: Efficient Unconstrained Scene Text Detector,Busta M., Neumann L., Matas J.: ICCV 2015.
To build a standalone library, run
mkdir Release
cd Release
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
Prerequisites:
- OpenCV
- python + numpy (optional)
After building the executables, you can use toy examples in python:
cd tools
python segmentation.py <path_to_image>
- will process and draw FASText keypoints on scale pyramid.
cd tools
python evaluateSegmentation.py
- will reproduce results on ICDAR 2013 dataset (requires Challenge 2 dataset & GT segmentations)
