Abstract

The exiting excellent text detection methods only mine geometric feature of text boxes and lack an effective filtering mechanism. Aimed at this problem, this paper proposed an anchor-free text detection method through mining text box location feature. The method used ResNet50 as the backbone of CNN(convolution neural network), and then fused the features with different size to predict the geometric feature and location feature of text boxes. Finally, this method used a two filtering mechanism to obtain the final detection text boxes. The method got the value of F at 0.870 and 0.861 on ICDAR2013 and ICDAR2011 datasets, which demonstrate the effectiveness of mining text box location feature for anchor-free text detection in natural scene images.
