text-spotting-0003 (composite)

Use Case and High-Level Description

This is a text spotting composite model that simultaneously detects and recognizes text. The model detects symbol sequences separated by space and performs recognition without a dictionary. The model is built on top of the Mask-RCNN framework with additional attention-based text recognition head.

Alphabet is alphanumeric: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789.
