Arbitrary shape text detection is a challenging task due to the high variety and complexity of scenes texts. In this paper, we propose a novel unified relational reasoning graph network for arbitrary shape text detection. In our method, an innovative local graph bridges a text proposal model via Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a deep relational reasoning network via Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), making our network end-to-end trainable. To be concrete, every text instance will be divided into a series of small rectangular components, and the geometry attributes (e.g., height, width, and orientation) of the small components will be estimated by our text proposal model. Given the geometry attributes, the local graph construction model can roughly establish linkages between different text components. For further reasoning and deducing the likelihood of linkages between the component and its neighbors, we adopt a graph-based network to perform deep relational reasoning on local graphs. Experiments on public available datasets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our method.

Arbitrary shape text detection is a challenging task due to the high complexity and variety of scene texts. In this work, we propose a novel adaptive boundary proposal network for arbitrary shape text detection, which can learn to directly produce ac curate boundary for arbitrary shape text without any post-processing. Our method mainly consists of a boundary proposal model and an innovative adaptive boundary deformation model. The boundary proposal model constructed by multi-layer dilated convolutions is adopted to produce prior information (including classification map, distance field, and direction field) and coarse boundary proposals. The adaptive boundary deformation model is an encoder-decoder network, in which the encoder mainly consists of a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). It aims to perform boundary deformation in an iterative way for obtaining text instance shape guided by prior information from the boundary proposal model. In this way, our method can directly and efficiently generate accurate text boundaries without complex post-processing. Extensive experiments on publicly available datasets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our method.

Numerous scene text detection methods have been proposed in recent years. Most of them declare they have achieved state-of-the-art performances. However, the performance comparison is unfair, due to lots of inconsistent settings (e.g., training data, backbone network, multi-scale feature fusion, evaluation protocols, etc.). These various settings would dissemble the pros and cons of the proposed core techniques. In this paper, we carefully examine and analyze the inconsistent settings, and propose a unified framework for the bottom-up based scene text detection methods. Under the unified framework, we ensure the consistent settings for non-core modules, and mainly investigate the representations of describing arbitrary-shape scene texts, e.g., regressing points on text contours, clustering pixels with predicted auxiliary information, grouping connected components with learned linkages, etc. With the comprehensive investigations and elaborate analyses, it not only cleans up the obstacle of understanding the performance differences between existing methods but also reveals the advantages and disadvantages of previous models under fair comparisons.
Solving grounded language tasks often requires reasoning about relationships between objects in the context of a given task. For example, to answer the question What color is the mug on the plate? we must check the color of the specific mug that sati sfies the on relationship with respect to the plate. Recent work has proposed various methods capable of complex relational reasoning. However, most of their power is in the inference structure, while the scene is represented with simple local appearance features. In this paper, we take an alternate approach and build contextualized representations for objects in a visual scene to support relational reasoning. We propose a general framework of Language-Conditioned Graph Networks (LCGN), where each node represents an object, and is described by a context-aware representation from related objects through iterative message passing conditioned on the textual input. E.g., conditioning on the on relationship to the plate, the object mug gathers messages from the object plate to update its representation to mug on the plate, which can be easily consumed by a simple classifier for answer prediction. We experimentally show that our LCGN approach effectively supports relational reasoning and improves performance across several tasks and datasets.

In this paper, we propose the Broadcasting Convolutional Network (BCN) that extracts key object features from the global field of an entire input image and recognizes their relationship with local features. BCN is a simple network module that collect s effective spatial features, embeds location information and broadcasts them to the entire feature maps. We further introduce the Multi-Relational Network (multiRN) that improves the existing Relation Network (RN) by utilizing the BCN module. In pixel-based relation reasoning problems, with the help of BCN, multiRN extends the concept of `pairwise relations in conventional RNs to `multiwise relations by relating each object with multiple objects at once. This yields in O(n) complexity for n objects, which is a vast computational gain from RNs that take O(n^2). Through experiments, multiRN has achieved a state-of-the-art performance on CLEVR dataset, which proves the usability of BCN on relation reasoning problems.

Existing object detection-based text detectors mainly concentrate on detecting horizontal and multioriented text. However, they do not pay enough attention to complex-shape text (curved or other irregularly shaped text). Recently, segmentation-based text detection methods have been introduced to deal with the complex-shape text; however, the pixel level processing increases the computational cost significantly. To further improve the accuracy and efficiency, we propose a novel detection framework for arbitrary-shape text detection, termed as RayNet. RayNet uses Center Point Set (CPS) and Ray Distance (RD) to fit text, where CPS is used to determine the text general position and the RD is combined with CPS to compute Ray Points (RP) to localize the text accurate shape. Since RP are disordered, we develop the Ray Points Connection (RPC) algorithm to reorder RP, which significantly improves the detection performance of complex-shape text. RayNet achieves impressive performance on existing curved text dataset (CTW1500) and quadrangle text dataset (ICDAR2015), which demonstrate its superiority against several state-of-the-art methods.
