Real-time End-to-End Video Text Spotter with Contrastive Representation Learning

Understand

Video text spotting(VTS) is the task that requires simultaneously detecting, tracking and recognizing text in the video.

• Existing video text spotting methods typically develop sophisticated pipelines and multiple models, which is not friend for real-time applications.
• Here we propose a real-time end-to-end video text spotter with Contrastive Representation learning (CoText).
• Our contributions are three-fold: 1) CoText simultaneously address the three tasks (e.g., text detection, tracking, recognition) in a real-time end-to-end trainable framework.
