• Abstract summary: Region prompt tuning method decomposes region text prompt into individual characters and splits visual feature map into region visual tokens. This allows a character matches the local features of a token, thereby avoiding the omission of detailed features and fine-grained text. Our proposed method combines a general score map from the image-text process with a region score map derived from character-token matching.

• Abstract: Recent advancements in prompt tuning have successfully adapted large-scale models like Contrastive Language-Image Pre-trained (CLIP) for downstream tasks such as scene text detection. Typically, text prompt complements the text encoder's input, focusing on global features while neglecting fine-grained details, leading to fine-grained text being ignored in task of scene text detection. In this paper, we propose the region prompt tuning (RPT) method for fine-grained scene text detection, where region text prompt proposed would help focus on fine-grained features. Region prompt tuning method decomposes region text prompt into individual characters and splits visual feature map into region visual tokens, creating a one-to-one correspondence between characters and tokens. This allows a character matches the local features of a token, thereby avoiding the omission of detailed features and fine-grained text. To achieve this, we introduce a sharing position embedding to link each character with its corresponding token and employ a bidirectional distance loss to align each region text prompt character with the target ``text''. To refine the information at fine-grained level, we implement character-token level interactions before and after encoding. Our proposed method combines a general score map from the image-text process with a region score map derived from character-token matching, producing a final score map that could balance the global and local features and be fed into DBNet to detect the text. Experiments on benchmarks like ICDAR2015, TotalText, and CTW1500 demonstrate RPT impressive performance, underscoring its effectiveness for scene text detection.

  This paper presents contextual text detection, a new setup that detects contextual text blocks (CTBs) for better understanding of texts in scenes. We formulate the new setup by a dual detection task which first detects integral text units and then groups them into a CTB. To this end, we design a novel scene text clustering technique that treats integral text units as tokens and groups them (belonging to the same CTB) into an ordered token sequence.

  Scene text retrieval aims to localize and search all text instances from an image gallery, which are the same or similar to a given query text. We address this problem by directly learning a cross-modal similarity between a query text and each text instance from natural images. In this way, scene text retrieval can be simply performed by ranking the detected text instances with the learned similarity.
