Deep Learning for Text Detection (Part1) - GdPicture.NET Blog

In a previous blog article, we outlined several deep learning techniques for OCR. We mentioned how these techniques are used for text detection and text recognition, which are the two primary building blocks of an OCR system. In this article, we will go deeper into how deep learning is being used for text detection, which is the first block when doing OCR. We are planning to release more articles where we will explore more deep learning techniques for text detection and text recognition. Object detection is a field in deep learning that is applied in several computer vision tasks, including text detection. There are mainly two types of object detection models: one-stage detectors and two-stages detectors.
