Description:
The algorithm we proposed is used for Scene image text detect. We scale the image to a fixed aspect ratio of 512*768, and then use U-Net to output a 1-channel score map and an 8-channel geo map. The score map is used to determine whether it is a text area. The geo map is used to recall to the bounding box.The four vertices of our text box are represented by polar coordinates.
