Text in natural scene images plays a vital role in scene understanding. It contains a rich and
abundant amount of valuable semantic information useful in many applications such as …

State-of-the-art methods for large-scale driving-scene LiDAR segmentation often project the
point clouds to 2D space and then process them via 2D convolution. Although this …

One of the main challenges for arbitrary-shaped text detection is to design a good text
instance representation that allows networks to learn diverse text geometry variances. Most …

Recently, segmentation-based methods are quite popular in scene text detection, as the
segmentation results can more accurately describe scene text of various shapes such as …

Scene text detection and recognition has received increasing research attention. Existing
methods can be roughly categorized into two groups: character-based and segmentation …

Scene text detection and document layout analysis have long been treated as two separate
tasks in different image domains. In this paper, we bring them together and introduce the …
