Text Recognition on new dataset

[SiDinhThoi]

Hi @Bartzi,

I am wondering about do your algorithm can work on following images?

Thank you and looking forward to hearing back from you!

Hmm, I don't think it would work well... you see one of the problems with the approach is that it is currently not really possible to work with images that contain lots of text and also text that is in very different positions...
But actually you should not need to have such a complicated deep learning system for localizing and detecting such text...

Hi @Bartzi,

Thank you for your response

I am curious about if I train the model from scratch with this new dataset, will it work? or do you have any idea to make the algorithm can work with this new dataset?

Sincerely,

Si

As I said, I don't think it will work out of the box, as the proposed system has problems with many textlines in large position variations. The guidance obtained by the localization network from the recognition network is not enough for such problems, but all in all I think you are still better off with a standard print OCR engine, for such data...

Thank you for your advice @Bartzi
