OpenCV Text Detection (EAST text detector) - PyImageSearch

In this tutorial you will learn how to use OpenCV to detect text in natural scene images using the EAST text detector. OpenCV's EAST text detector is a deep learning model, based on a novel architecture and training pattern. It is capable of (1) running at near real-time at 13 FPS on 720p images and (2) obtains state-of-the-art text detection accuracy. In the reminder of this tutorial you will learn how to use OpenCV's EAST detector to automatically detect text in both images and video streams.
