Abstract Recognizing irregular text in natural images is a challenging task in computer vision. The existing approaches still face difficulties in recognizing irregular text because of its diverse shapes. In this paper, we propose a simple yet powerful irregular text recognition framework based on an encoder-decoder architecture. The proposed framework is divided into four main modules. Firstly, in the image transformation module, a Thin Plate Spline (TPS) transformation is employed to transform the irregular text image into a readable text image. Secondly, we propose a novel Spatial Attention Module (SAM) to compel the model to concentrate… More >
