• Abstract: The task of partial scene text retrieval involves localizing and searching for text instances that are the same or similar to a given query text from an image gallery. However, existing methods can only handle text-line instances, leaving the problem of searching for partial patches within these text-line instances unsolved due to a lack of patch annotations in the training data. To address this issue, we propose a network that can simultaneously retrieve both text-line instances and their partial patches. Our method embeds the two types of data (query text and scene text instances) into a shared feature space and measures their cross-modal similarities. To handle partial patches, our proposed approach adopts a Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) approach to learn their similarities with query text, without requiring extra annotations. However, constructing bags, which is a standard step of conventional MIL approaches, can introduce numerous noisy samples for training, and lower inference speed. To address this issue, we propose a Ranking MIL (RankMIL) approach to adaptively filter those noisy samples. Additionally, we present a Dynamic Partial Match Algorithm (DPMA) that can directly search for the target partial patch from a text-line instance during the inference stage, without requiring bags. This greatly improves the search efficiency and the performance of retrieving partial patches. The source code and dataset are available at https://github.com/lanfeng4659/PSTR.

  We formulate text generation as progressively copying text segments from an existing text collection. Our approach achieves better generation quality according to both automatic and human evaluations. Our approach attains additional performance gains by simply scaling up to larger text collections.

  We present a transformer-based architecture for scene text detection. We first select a few representative features at all scales that are highly relevant to foreground text. As each feature group corresponds to a text instance, its bounding box can be easily obtained without any post-processing operation.

  We present an unsupervised deep learning method that embeds document image patches to a compact Euclidean space where distances correspond to a coarse text line pattern similarity.

We evaluate the method qualitatively and quantitatively on several variants of text line segmentation datasets to demonstrate its effectivity.

  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.
