News - ICDAR2019 Robust Reading Challenge on Arbitrary-Shaped Text

Updated Challenge 1 and 2 per-image vocabularies

It came to our attention that a few words that were correctly present in the localisation ground truth of the images, were not reflected in the per-image vocabularies of Challenge 1 and Challenge 2. This affects Task 4 of said tasks. The per image vocabularies have been updated to correct this error. Please download the up to date files from the respective download pages or the links below.
