SCUT-CTW1500

Introduced by Liu Yuliang et al. in Detecting Curve Text in the Wild: New Dataset and New Solution1 Jan 2017 archive 2025-07-28

The SCUT-CTW1500 dataset contains 1,500 images: 1,000 for training and 500 for testing. In particular, it provides 10,751 cropped text instance images, including 3,530 with curved text. The images are manually harvested from the Internet, image libraries such as Google Open-Image, or phone cameras. The dataset contains a lot of horizontal and multi-oriented text.

28 shown of 28 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 44. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
