Natural scene text detection based on YOLO V2 network model

Abstract

Abstract As an important part in the field, the natural scene text detection has been widely applied in visual navigation system, content-based image and video retrieval, instant translation system and so on. In this paper, we introduce several object detection network based on deep learning, and apply the YOLO v2 into natural scene text detection, changing the multi objects detection problems into the two classification problems. The main works in the paper include the following: prepare the datasets; we train the YOLO v2 with the optimum parameters, carry out the regression analysis of the coordinate parameters and categories of bounding boxes, obtain the detection result; according to different detection models, the detection results of different datasets are compared and analyzed, YOLO V2 model detection speed 0.105s/image has certain advantages.
