Introduced by Pengfei Wang et al. in PGNet: Real-time Arbitrarily-Shaped Text Spotting with Point Gathering Network
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
PGNet is a point-gathering network for reading arbitrarily-shaped text in real-time. It is a single-shot text spotter, where the pixel-level character classification map is learned with proposed PG-CTC loss avoiding the usage of character-level annotations. With a PG-CTC decoder, we gather high-level character classification vectors from two-dimensional space and decode them into text symbols without NMS and RoI operations involved, which guarantees high efficiency. Additionally, reasoning the relations between each character and its neighbors, a graph refinement module (GRM) is proposed to optimize the coarse recognition and improve the end-to-end performance.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
