Text proposals with location-awareness-attention network for arbitrarily shaped scene text detection and recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• An end-to-end unified method is proposed for text detection and recognition.

• Predicting central mask of text instance for locating text region.

• Regression and mask prediction are performed for accurate position of text region.

• A local-awareness network-based model is proposed to recognize characters.

• Experimental results attest to the effectiveness of the proposed method.
