Parallel Scale-wise Attention Network for Effective Scene Text Recognition
Parallel Scale-wise Attention Network for Effective Scene Text Recognition
The paper proposes a new text recognition network for scene-text images. Many state-of-the-art methods employ the attention mechanism either in the text encoder or decoder for the text alignment. Although the encoder-based attention yields promising results, these schemes inherit noticeable limitations. They perform the feature extraction (FE) and visual attention …
