Image Generators are Generalist Vision Learners
Valentin Gabeur, Shangbang Long, Songyou Peng +22
Recent works show that image and video generators exhibit zero-shot visual understanding behaviors, in a way reminiscent of how LLMs develop emergent capabilities of language under…
PaliGemma 2: A Family of Versatile VLMs for Transfer
Andreas Steiner, André Susano Pinto, Michael Tschannen +15
PaliGemma 2 is an upgrade of the PaliGemma open Vision-Language Model (VLM) based on the Gemma 2 family of language models. We combine the SigLIP-So400m vision encoder that was als…
Hierarchical Text Spotter for Joint Text Spotting and Layout Analysis
Shangbang Long, Siyang Qin, Yasuhisa Fujii +2
We propose Hierarchical Text Spotter (HTS), a novel method for the joint task of word-level text spotting and geometric layout analysis. HTS can recognize text in an image and iden…
ICDAR 2023 Competition on Hierarchical Text Detection and Recognition
Shangbang Long, Siyang Qin, Dmitry Panteleev +3
We organize a competition on hierarchical text detection and recognition. The competition is aimed to promote research into deep learning models and systems that can jointly perfor…
Towards End-to-End Unified Scene Text Detection and Layout Analysis
Shangbang Long, Siyang Qin, Dmitry Panteleev +3
Scene text detection and document layout analysis have long been treated as two separate tasks in different image domains. In this paper, we bring them together and introduce the t…
UnrealText: Synthesizing Realistic Scene Text Images from the Unreal World
Shangbang Long, Cong Yao
Synthetic data has been a critical tool for training scene text detection and recognition models. On the one hand, synthetic word images have proven to be a successful substitute f…
A New Perspective for Flexible Feature Gathering in Scene Text Recognition Via Character Anchor Pooling
Shangbang Long, Yushuo Guan, Kaigui Bian +1
Irregular scene text recognition has attracted much attention from the research community, mainly due to the complexity of shapes of text in natural scene. However, recent methods…
Rethinking Irregular Scene Text Recognition
Shangbang Long, Yushuo Guan, Bingxuan Wang +2
Reading text from natural images is challenging due to the great variety in text font, color, size, complex background and etc.. The perspective distortion and non-linear spatial a…
SynthText3D: Synthesizing Scene Text Images from 3D Virtual Worlds
Minghui Liao, Boyu Song, Shangbang Long +3
With the development of deep neural networks, the demand for a significant amount of annotated training data becomes the performance bottlenecks in many fields of research and appl…
Scene Text Detection and Recognition: The Deep Learning Era
Shangbang Long, Xin He, Cong Yao
With the rise and development of deep learning, computer vision has been tremendously transformed and reshaped. As an important research area in computer vision, scene text detecti…
TextSnake: A Flexible Representation for Detecting Text of Arbitrary Shapes
Shangbang Long, Jiaqiang Ruan, Wenjie Zhang +3
Driven by deep neural networks and large scale datasets, scene text detection methods have progressed substantially over the past years, continuously refreshing the performance rec…
