With the rise and development of deep learning, computer vision has been tremendously
transformed and reshaped. As an important research area in computer vision, scene text …

Recently, segmentation-based scene text detection methods have drawn extensive attention
in the scene text detection field, because of their superiority in detecting the text instances of …

Recently, segmentation-based methods are quite popular in scene text detection, as the
segmentation results can more accurately describe scene text of various shapes such as …

Object detection has recently experienced substantial progress. Yet, the widely adopted
horizontal bounding box representation is not appropriate for ubiquitous oriented objects …

Despite the great success of GANs in images translation with different conditioned inputs
such as semantic segmentation and edge map, generating high-fidelity images with …

Recently, models based on deep neural networks have dominated the fields of scene text
detection and recognition. In this paper, we investigate the problem of scene text spotting …

Automated recognition of texts in scenes has been a research challenge for years, largely
due to the arbitrary text appearance variation in perspective distortion, text line curvature …

Recent end-to-end trainable methods for scene text spotting, integrating detection and
recognition, showed much progress. However, most of the current arbitrary-shape scene text …

Recent advances in generative adversarial networks (GANs) have shown great potentials in
realistic image synthesis whereas most existing works address synthesis realism in either …

Scene text detection has witnessed rapid development in recent years. However, there still
exists two main challenges: 1) many methods suffer from false positives in their text …
