# Scene Text-Spotting based on PSEnet+CRNN

Pytorch implementation of an end to end Text-Spotter with a PSEnet text detector and CRNN text recognizer. We plan to grow this repository into an open research platform for multi-lingual text detection and recognition from natural scene images, targeted towards low-resource languages.

## Requirements
- Python 3.6.5
- Pytorch 1.0.1
- pyclipper
- Polygon 3.0.8
- OpenCV 3.4.1

### Testing
- Download the trained CRNN and PSEnet models from the links provided below.
- Copy paths of the models and paste them in params.py
- run end-end.py
```
python end-end.py --img [path to image]
```

### Pre-trained Models

Both PSEnet and CRNN pre-trained models can be found here: [gdrive](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Bza5tAACtqtLNLxg7ws6rzRrSeW1-Jp6)

* the PSEnet model is a multi-lingual text detector, trained on MLT 2019. Works quite well!
* the CRNN recognizes Hindi right now. this one is quite moody :( More coming soon!

Download the models in `models/` directory and modify `params.py` if required.
