Description: Multiple MSERs and Convolution Neural Networks are employed in our method to extract character candidates. Character candidates are then grouped by using the technique in USTB_TexStar to generate text candidates. At last, a text classifier is trained on the training dataset to verify these text candidates. . Note that the character classifier used here is trained on real scene images for Challenge 2.
