Description: For word and line detection, we firstly crop patches from images for catching local mask results. Second, we also get global mask results by using full images as the input. Thirdly, we merge global and local results by using NMS postprocess procedure. For paragraph detection, we only use full images as input and get global mask results. All detectors are CBNetV2[1] with HTC[2]. For hierarchical text detection, we use IOS(intersection-of-sets) as metric to assign words into lines and use same strategy to assign lines into paragraphs.

Description: Our model passes through a CNN and deformable transformer encoder to extract multi-scale visual features for images. Then, an independent segmentation head is utilized to extract words, lines, and paragraphs. Additionally, text recognition results are achieved through a deformable transformer decoder. Our model performs both layout detection and OCR simultaneously. In summary, our single model performs both layout detection (task 1) and OCR (task 2) simultaneously.
