Scene Text Localisation in the KAIST Dataset

Datasets -> Current Page

Created: 2010-01-25 Last updated: 2011-001-27

Description

The aim of this task is to automatically find bounding boxes of text at word level and character level in the KAIST dataset images.

The bounding boxes should be horizontal.

The evaluation method to be used should be the same as defined for the ICDAR 2003 (and 2005) "Robust Reading Competitions" [1, 2]. The performace is evaluated as precision and recall score of the bounding boxes.
