handwritten-japanese-recognition-0001

Use Case and High-Level Description

This is a network for handwritten japanese text recognition scenario. It consists of VGG16-like backbone, reshape layer and a fully connected layer. The network is able to recognize japanese text (characters in datasets Kondate and Nakayosi).

Specification

Metric Value
GFlops 117.136
MParams 15.31
Accuracy on Kondate test set and test set generated from Nakayosi 98.16%
Source framework PyTorch*

Accuracy Values

This demo adopts label error rate as the metric for accuracy.

Inputs

Shape: [1x1x96x2000] - An input image in the format [BxCxHxW], where:

Note that the source image should be converted to grayscale, resized to spefic height (such as 96) while keeping aspect ratio, normalized to [-1, 1] and right bottom padded

Outputs

The net outputs a blob with the shape [186, 1, 1161] in the format [WxBxL], where:

The network output can be decoded by CTC Greedy Decoder.
