On Recognizing Texts of Arbitrary Shapes with 2D Self-Attention
Scene text recognition (STR) is the task of recognizing character sequences in natural scenes. While there have been great advances in STR methods, current methods which convert two-dimensional (2D) image to one-dimensional (1D) feature map still fail to recognize texts in arbitrary shapes, such as heavily curved, rotated or vertically …
