Scene Text Image

Scene text image research focuses on accurately recognizing and manipulating text within natural images, addressing challenges posed by low resolution, diverse languages, and complex backgrounds. Current efforts concentrate on developing robust models, often employing transformer architectures and diffusion models, to improve text recognition accuracy, super-resolution capabilities, and the ability to perform tasks like text inpainting, removal, and even cross-lingual translation. These advancements have significant implications for various applications, including document processing, autonomous driving, and accessibility technologies, by enabling more accurate and efficient text extraction and manipulation from real-world imagery.
