Description: In USTB_TexVideo II-1, multi-orientation text detection is conducted with USTB_TexStar [1,2], and text tracking with empricial rules is performed for improving detection results. In addition, during tracking, SURF is used to handle miss detecionts. At last, a trained classifier is used to remove false detections and retrieve detections which are decided to be false detections by tracking.
