Scene Text Recognition and Retrieval for Large Lexicons

Abstract

In this paper we propose a framework for recognition and retrieval tasks in the context of scene text images. In contrast to many of the recent works, we focus on the case where an image-specific list of words, known as the small lexicon setting, is unavailable. We present a conditional random field model defined on potential character locations and the interactions between them. Observing that the interaction potentials computed in the large lexicon setting are less effective than in the case of a small lexicon, we propose an iterative method, which alternates between finding the most likely solution and refining the interaction po-tentials. We evaluate our method on public datasets and show that it improves over baseline and state-of-the-art approaches. For example, we obtain nearly 15% improvement in recognition accuracy and precision for our retrieval task over baseline methods on the IIIT-5K word dataset, with a large lexicon containing 0.5 million words.
