• Title: MOoSE: Multi-Orientation Sharing Experts for Open-set Scene Text Recognition
• Authors: Chang Liu, Simon Corbillé, Elisa H Barney Smith,
• Abstract summary: Open-set text recognition aims to address both novel characters and previously seen ones. We first propose a Multi-Oriented Open-Set Text Recognition task (MOOSTR) to model the challenges of both novel characters and writing direction variety. We then propose a Multi-Orientation Sharing Experts (MOoSE) framework as a strong baseline solution.

• Abstract: Open-set text recognition, which aims to address both novel characters and previously seen ones, is one of the rising subtopics in the text recognition field. However, the current open-set text recognition solutions only focuses on horizontal text, which fail to model the real-life challenges posed by the variety of writing directions in real-world scene text. Multi-orientation text recognition, in general, faces challenges from the diverse image aspect ratios, significant imbalance in data amount, and domain gaps between orientations. In this work, we first propose a Multi-Oriented Open-Set Text Recognition task (MOOSTR) to model the challenges of both novel characters and writing direction variety. We then propose a Multi-Orientation Sharing Experts (MOoSE) framework as a strong baseline solution. MOoSE uses a mixture-of-experts scheme to alleviate the domain gaps between orientations, while exploiting common structural knowledge among experts to alleviate the data scarcity that some experts face. The proposed MOoSE framework is validated by ablative experiments, and also tested for feasibility on the existing open-set benchmark.

  We propose a novel approach called Class-Aware Mask-guided feature refinement (CAM) Our approach introduces canonical class-aware glyph masks to suppress background and text style noise. By enhancing the alignment between the canonical mask feature and the text feature, the module ensures more effective fusion.

  We argue for their unification -- we aim for a single model that can compete favourably with two separate state-of-the-art STR and HTR models. We first show that cross-utilisation of STR and HTR models trigger significant performance drops due to differences in their inherent challenges. We then tackle their union by introducing a knowledge distillation (KD) based framework.
