Analysis of Text Identification Techniques Using Scene Text and Optical Character Recognition

摘要

In today's era, data in digitalized form is needed for faster processing and performing of all tasks. The best way to digitalize the documents is by extracting the text from them. This work of text extraction can be performed by various text identification tasks such as scene text recognition, optical character recognition, handwriting recognition, and much more. This paper presents, reviews, and analyses recent research expansion in the area of optical character recognition and scene text recognition based on various existing models such as convolutional neural network, long short-term memory, cognitive reading for image processing, maximally stable extreme regions, stroke width transformation, and achieved remarkable results up to 90.34% of F-score with benchmark datasets such as ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2019, IIIT5k. The researchers have done outstanding work in the text recognition field. Yet, improvement in text detection in low-quality image performance is required, as text identification should not be limited to the input quality of the image.
