Scene Text Spotting

Scene text spotting aims to automatically locate and transcribe text within natural images, a crucial task for various applications like autonomous driving and document processing. Current research emphasizes improving the synergy between text detection and recognition, often employing transformer-based architectures and incorporating linguistic priors to enhance accuracy, particularly for challenging scenarios like irregular text shapes, multiple languages, and dense text areas. These advancements are driving improvements in both the accuracy and efficiency of scene text spotting systems, leading to more robust and reliable text extraction from complex visual scenes.
