Zusammenfassung: | Scene text detection plays a significant role in various applications, such as object recognition, document management, and visual navigation. The instance segmentation based method has been mostly used in existing research due to its advantages in dealing with multi-oriented texts. However, a large number of non-text pixels exist in the labels during the model training, leading to text mis-segmentation. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-oriented scene text detection framework, which includes two main modules: character instance segmentation (one instance corresponds to one character), and character flow construction (one character flow corresponds to one word). We use feature pyramid network (FPN) to predict character and non-character instances with arbitrary directions. A joint network of FPN and bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) is developed to explore the context information among isolated characters, which are finally grouped into character flows. Extensive experiments are conducted on ICDAR2013, ICDAR2015, MSRA-TD500 and MLT datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. The
