News!!! Recognition branch now is added into model. The whole project has beed optimized and refactored.

• ICDAR Dataset
• SynthText 800K Dataset
• detection branch (verified on the training set, It works!)
• recognition branch (verified)
• eval
• multi-gpu training
• reasonable project structure
• wandb
• pytorch_lightning

Introduction

This is a PyTorch implementation of FOTS.

Instruction

Requirements

1. build tools

   ./build.sh
   

2. prepare Dataset

3. create virtual env, you may need conda

   conda create --name fots --file spec-file.txt
   conda activate fots
   pip install -r reqs.txt
   

Training

# quite easy, for single gpu training set gpus to [0]. 0 is the id of your gpu.
python train.py -c pretrain.json
python train.py -c finetune.json

Evaluation

python eval.py 
-c
finetune.json
-m
<your ckpt>
-i
<icdar2015 folder contains train and test>
--detection    
-o
./results
--cuda

with --detection flag to evaluate detection only or without flag to evaluate e2e

Benchmarking and Models (Coming soon!)

Visualization (1000 epochs, 8 bs, icdar2015 without finetuning, still converging!!!)
