Correlation-guided decoding strategy for low-resource Uyghur scene text recognition by Miaomiao Xu, Jiang Zhang, Lianghui Xu, Wushour Silamu, Yanbing Li

“…Finally, through a dynamic fusion method, the features from CNN and Transformer are dynamically integrated, adaptively allocating the weights of CNN and Transformer features during the model training process, thereby achieving a dynamic balance between local and global features. (2) To further enhance the feature extraction capabilities, we designed a Correlation-Guided Decoding (CGD) module. Unlike existing decoding strategies, we adopt a dual-decoder approach with the Transformer and CGD decoders. …”
