• Abstract: Text Recognition is one of the challenging tasks of computer vision with considerable practical interest. Optical character recognition (OCR) enables different applications for automation. This project focuses on word detection and recognition in natural images. In comparison to reading text in scanned documents, the targeted problem is significantly more challenging. The use case in focus facilitates the possibility to detect the text area in natural scenes with greater accuracy because of the availability of images under constraints. This is achieved using a camera mounted on a truck capturing likewise images round-the-clock. The detected text area is then recognized using Tesseract OCR engine. Even though it benefits low computational power requirements, the model is limited to only specific use cases. This paper discusses a critical false positive case scenario occurred while testing and elaborates the strategy used to alleviate the problem. The project achieved a correct character recognition rate of more than 80\%. This paper outlines the stages of development, the major challenges and some of the interesting findings of the project.

  This paper proposes a method that leverages linguistic knowledge from a large text corpus to replace the traditional one-hot encoding used in auto-regressive scene text spotting and recognition models. We generate text distributions that align well with scene text datasets, removing the need for in-domain fine-tuning. Experimental results show that our method not only improves recognition accuracy but also enables more accurate localization of words.
