Description: In this work, we design an elegant text detection model. Our detector is similar to DBNet, but there are some difference. More specifically, we have introduced an advanced detector backbone, a classic network EfficientDet, with flexible scales and stronger ability to extract features. Another breakthrough is that we optimized the label generation strategy in DBNet. In the original work, the positive area generation and the expansion of the positive area to the bounding box used the Vatti clipping algorithm, which is less robust with different area perimeter ratios. We optimized this function to make the label transform between positive area and bounding box more reasonable.
