  Title ICDAR2017 Robust Reading Challenge on Multi-Lingual Scene Text Detection and Script Identification – RRC-MLT Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1454-1459  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Text detection and recognition in a natural environment are key components of many applications, ranging from business card digitization to shop indexation in a street. This competition aims at assessing the ability of state-of-the-art methods to detect Multi-Lingual Text (MLT) in scene images, such as in contents gathered from the Internet media and in modern cities where multiple cultures live and communicate together. This competition is an extension of the Robust Reading Competition (RRC) which has been held since 2003 both in ICDAR and in an online context. The proposed competition is presented as a new challenge of the RRC. The dataset built for this challenge largely extends the previous RRC editions in many aspects: the multi-lingual text, the size of the dataset, the multi-oriented text, the wide variety of scenes. The dataset is comprised of 18,000 images which contain text belonging to 9 languages. The challenge is comprised of three tasks related to text detection and script classification. We have received a total of 16 participations from the research and industrial communities. This paper presents the dataset, the tasks and the findings of this RRC-MLT challenge.

  Title ICDAR2017 Robust Reading Challenge on Omnidirectional Video Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Results of ICDAR 2017 Robust Reading Challenge on Omnidirectional Video are presented. This competition uses Downtown Osaka Scene Text (DOST) Dataset that was captured in Osaka, Japan with an omnidirectional camera. Hence, it consists of sequential images (videos) of different view angles. Regarding the sequential images as videos (video mode), two tasks of localisation and end-to-end recognition are prepared. Regarding them as a set of still images (still image mode), three tasks of localisation, cropped word recognition and end-to-end recognition are prepared. As the dataset has been captured in Japan, the dataset contains Japanese text but also include text consisting of alphanumeric characters (Latin text). Hence, a submitted result for each task is evaluated in three ways: using Japanese only ground truth (GT), using Latin only GT and using combined GTs of both. Finally, by the submission deadline, we have received two submissions in the text localisation task of the still image mode. We intend to continue the competition in the open mode. Expecting further submissions, in this report we provide baseline results in all the tasks in addition to the submissions from the community.

  Title ICDAR2017 Robust Reading Challenge on Text Extraction from Biomedical Literature Figures (DeTEXT) Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1444-1447  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Hundreds of millions of figures are available in the biomedical literature, representing important biomedical experimental evidence. Since text is a rich source of information in figures, automatically extracting such text may assist in the task of mining figure information and understanding biomedical documents. Unlike images in the open domain, biomedical figures present a variety of unique challenges. For example, biomedical figures typically have complex layouts, small font sizes, short text, specific text, complex symbols and irregular text arrangements. This paper presents the final results of the ICDAR 2017 Competition on Text Extraction from Biomedical Literature Figures (ICDAR2017 DeTEXT Competition), which aims at extracting (detecting and recognizing) text from biomedical literature figures. Similar to text extraction from scene images and web pictures, ICDAR2017 DeTEXT Competition includes three major tasks, i.e., text detection, cropped word recognition and end-to-end text recognition. Here, we describe in detail the data set, tasks, evaluation protocols and participants of this competition, and report the performance of the participating methods.

  Title Automatic Static/Variable Content Separation in Administrative Document Images Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this paper we present an automatic method for separating static and variable content from administrative document images. An alignment approach is able to unsupervisedly build probabilistic templates from a set of examples of the same document kind. Such templates define which is the likelihood of every pixel of being either static or variable content. In the extraction step, the same alignment technique is used to match
an incoming image with the template and to locate the positions where variable fields appear. We validate our approach on the public NIST Structured Tax Forms Dataset.

  Title Evaluation of Texture Descriptors for Validation of Counterfeit Documents Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1237-1242  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This paper describes an exhaustive comparative analysis and evaluation of different existing texture descriptor algorithms to differentiate between genuine and counterfeit documents. We include in our experiments different categories of algorithms and compare them in different scenarios with several counterfeit datasets, comprising banknotes and identity documents. Computational time in the extraction of each descriptor is important because the final objective is to use it in a real industrial scenario. HoG and CNN based descriptors stands out statistically over the rest in terms of the F1-score/time ratio performance.

  Title Visual attention models for scene text recognition Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract arXiv:1706.01487
In this paper we propose an approach to lexicon-free recognition of text in scene images. Our approach relies on a LSTM-based soft visual attention model learned from convolutional features. A set of feature vectors are derived from an intermediate convolutional layer corresponding to different areas of the image. This permits encoding of spatial information into the image representation. In this way, the framework is able to learn how to selectively focus on different parts of the image. At every time step the recognizer emits one character using a weighted combination of the convolutional feature vectors according to the learned attention model. Training can be done end-to-end using only word level annotations. In addition, we show that modifying the beam search algorithm by integrating an explicit language model leads to significantly better recognition results. We validate the performance of our approach on standard SVT and ICDAR'03 scene text datasets, showing state-of-the-art performance in unconstrained text recognition.

  Title R-PHOC: Segmentation-Free Word Spotting using CNN Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 14th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Convolutional neural network; Image segmentation; Artificial neural network; Nearest neighbor search  
  Abstract arXiv:1707.01294
This paper proposes a region based convolutional neural network for segmentation-free word spotting. Our network takes as input an image and a set of word candidate bound- ing boxes and embeds all bounding boxes into an embedding space, where word spotting can be casted as a simple nearest neighbour search between the query representation and each of the candidate bounding boxes. We make use of PHOC embedding as it has previously achieved significant success in segmentation- based word spotting. Word candidates are generated using a simple procedure based on grouping connected components using some spatial constraints. Experiments show that R-PHOC which operates on images directly can improve the current state-of- the-art in the standard GW dataset and performs as good as PHOCNET in some cases designed for segmentation based word spotting.

  Title Efficient indexing for Query By String text retrieval Type Conference Article
  Year 2015 Publication 6th IAPR International Workshop on Camera Based Document Analysis and Recognition CBDAR2015 Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1236 - 1240  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This paper deals with Query By String word spotting in scene images. A hierarchical text segmentation algorithm based on text specific selective search is used to find text regions. These regions are indexed per character n-grams present in the text region. An attribute representation based on Pyramidal Histogram of Characters (PHOC) is used to compare text regions with the query text. For generation of the index a similar attribute space based Pyramidal Histogram of character n-grams is used. These attribute models are learned using linear SVMs over the Fisher Vector [1] representation of the images along with the PHOC labels of the corresponding strings.

  Title Improving Document Matching Performance by Local Descriptor Filtering Type Conference Article
  Year 2015 Publication 6th IAPR International Workshop on Camera Based Document Analysis and Recognition CBDAR2015 Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1216 - 1220  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this paper we propose an effective method aimed at reducing the amount of local descriptors to be indexed in a document matching framework. In an off-line training stage, the matching between the model document and incoming images is computed retaining the local descriptors from the model that steadily produce good matches. We have evaluated this approach by using the ICDAR2015 SmartDOC dataset containing near 25 000 images from documents to be captured by a mobile device. We have tested the performance of this filtering step by using
ORB and SIFT local detectors and descriptors. The results show an important gain both in quality of the final matching as well as in time and space requirements.
