An Improved Deep Learning Network Structure for Multitask Text Implication Translation Character Recognition by Xiaoli Ma, Hongyan Xu, Xiaoqian Zhang, Haoyong Wang

“…Aiming at multitasking and translation text detection, this paper proposes a text localization method based on multichannel multiscale detection of the largest stable extreme value region and cascade filtering. This paper selects the appropriate color channel and scale to extract the maximum stable extreme value area as the character candidate area and designs a cascaded filter from coarse to fine to remove false detections. …”
