These components are easier to\nhandle than the entire text instance. A confidence scoring mechanism is\ndesigned to filter characters that are similar to text. Our method can\nintegrate text contexts intensively when backgrounds are complex. Experiments\non two curved challenging benchmarks demonstrate that TextCohesion outperforms\nstate-of-the-art methods, achieving the F-measure of 84.6% on Total-Text and\nbfseries86.3% on SCUT-CTW1500.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1904.12640v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.12640v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"curved-text-detection","task_name":"Curved Text Detection"},{"task_slug":"scene-text-detection","task_name":"Scene Text Detection"},{"task_slug":"text-detection","task_name":"Text Detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/curved-text-detection-on-scut-ctw1500","task":"Curved Text Detection","dataset":"SCUT-CTW1500","model":"TextCohesion","rank_in_archive_order":1,"of":5,"metrics":{"F-Measure":"86.3%"},"uses_additional_data":false},{"leaderboard":"/sota/scene-text-detection-on-total-text","task":"Scene Text Detection","dataset":"Total-Text","model":"TextCohesion","rank_in_archive_order":16,"of":27,"metrics":{"F-Measure":"84.6%"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
