• Abstract: Segmentation-based scene text detection methods have been widely adopted for arbitrary-shaped text detection recently, since they make accurate pixel-level predictions on curved text instances and can facilitate real-time inference without time-consuming processing on anchors. However, current segmentation-based models are unable to learn the shapes of curved texts and often require complex label assignments or repeated feature aggregations for more accurate detection. In this paper, we propose RSCA: a Real-time Segmentation-based Context-Aware model for arbitrary-shaped scene text detection, which sets a strong baseline for scene text detection with two simple yet effective strategies: Local Context-Aware Upsampling and Dynamic Text-Spine Labeling, which model local spatial transformation and simplify label assignments separately. Based on these strategies, RSCA achieves state-of-the-art performance in both speed and accuracy, without complex label assignments or repeated feature aggregations. We conduct extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks to validate the effectiveness of our method. RSCA-640 reaches 83.9% F-measure at 48.3 FPS on CTW1500 dataset.

  We propose representation learning for real-time scene text detection. For semantic representation learning, we propose global-dense semantic contrast (GDSC) and top-down modeling (TDM) With the proposed GDSC and TDM, the encoder network learns stronger representation without introducing any parameters and computations during inference. The proposed method achieves 87.2% F-measure with 48.2 FPS on Total-Text and 89.6% F-measure with 36.9 FPS on MSRA-TD500.

  We propose to automatically learn the discriminate segmentation threshold, which distinguishes text pixels from background pixels for segmentation-based scene text detectors. Besides, we design a Global-information Enhanced Feature Pyramid Network (GE-FPN) for capturing text instances with macro size and extreme aspect ratios. Finally, together with the proposed threshold learning strategy and text detection structure, we design an Adaptive Network (ASNet) for scene text detection.

  Transformer-based methods, which predict polygon points or Bezier curve control points to localize texts, are quite popular in scene text detection. However, the used point label form implies the reading order of humans, which affects the robustness of Transformer model. We propose DPText-DETR, which directly uses point coordinates as queries and dynamically updates them between decoder layers.

  Arbitrary-shaped scene text detection is a challenging task due to the variety of text changes in font, size, color, and orientation. We propose a novel light-weight anchor-free text detection framework called TextDCT, which adopts the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to encode the text masks as compact vectors. TextDCT achieves F-measure of 85.1 at 17.2 frames per second (FPS) and F-measure of 84.9 at 15.1 FPS for CTW1500 and Total-Text datasets, respectively.
