2D Attentional Irregular Scene Text Recognizer

November 29, 2019 ยท View on GitHub

Unofficial PyTorch implementation of the paper, which transforms the irregular text with 2D layout to character sequence directly via 2D attentional scheme. They utilize a relation attention module to capture the dependencies of feature maps and a parallel attention module to decode all characters in parallel.

At present, the accuracy of the paper cannot be achieved. And i borrowed code from deep-text-recognition-benchmark

model

result
Test on ICDAR2019 with only 51.15%, will continue to improve.

Train

  1. I prepared a small dataset for train.The image and labels are in ./dataset/BAIDU.
python train.py --root ./dataset/BAIDU/images/ --train_csv ./dataset/BAIDU/small_train.txt --val_csv ./dataset/BAIDU/small_train.txt
