Scene Text Detection is a computer vision task that involves automatically identifying and localizing text within natural images or videos. The goal of scene text detection is to develop algorithms that can robustly detect and and label text with bounding boxes in uncontrolled and complex environments, such as street signs, billboards, or license plates.

CVPR 2017
Previous approaches for scene text detection have already achieved promising performances across various benchmarks.
Detecting Text in Natural Image with Connectionist Text Proposal Network

•
We propose a novel Connectionist Text Proposal Network (CTPN) that accurately localizes text lines in natural image.
Shape Robust Text Detection with Progressive Scale Expansion Network
PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR

•
CVPR 2019
Due to the fact that there are large geometrical margins among the minimal scale kernels, our method is effective to split the close text instances, making it easier to use segmentation-based methods to detect arbitrary-shaped text instances.

CVPR 2018
Incidental scene text spotting is considered one of the most difficult and valuable challenges in the document analysis community.
Detecting Oriented Text in Natural Images by Linking Segments
It achieves an f-measure of 75. 0% on the standard ICDAR 2015 Incidental (Challenge 4) benchmark, outperforming the previous best by a large margin.
