Description: In our system, multi-orientation text detection is conducted with USTB_TexStar [1,2]. Then a word recogniton system (a CNN recognizer [3] and a Character Case sensitive identifier) is performed. Here, text tracking within a Bayesian framework is used to improve both detection and recognition results.
