Text, as one of the most influential inventions of humanity, has played an important role in
human life, so far from ancient times. The rich and precise information embodied in text is …

The intelligent analysis of video data is currently in wide demand because a video is a major
source of sensory data in our lives. Text is a prominent and direct source of information in …

High level semantics embodied in scene texts are both rich and clear and thus can serve as
important cues for a wide range of vision applications, for instance, image understanding …

Text detection in natural scene images is an important prerequisite for many content-based
image analysis tasks, while most current research efforts only focus on horizontal or near …

This work is devoted to an identity document recognition system design for use in mobile
phones and tablets using the computational capabilities of the device itself. Key differences …

Driven by the wide range of applications, scene text detection and recognition have become
active research topics in computer vision. Though extensively studied, localizing and …

Although the accuracy of handwritten character recognition based on deep networks has
been shown to be superior to that of the traditional method, the use of an overly deep …

We propose a system that finds text in natural scenes using a variety of cues. Our novel data-
driven method incorporates coarse-to-fine detection of character pixels using convolutional …

Text detection in a natural environment plays an important role in many computer vision
applications. While existing text detection methods are focused on English characters, there …

Text detection and tracking in video is challenging due to contrast, resolution and
background variations, and different orientations and text movements. In addition, the …
