Summary: The performance of text detection is crucial for the subsequent recognition task. Currently, the accuracy of the text detector still needs further improvement, particularly those with irregular shapes in a complex environment. We propose a pixel-wise method based on instance segmentation for scene text detection. Specifically, a text instance is split into five components: a Text Skeleton and four Directional Pixel Regions, then restoring itself based on these elements and receiving supplementary information from other areas when one fails. Besides, a Confidence Scoring Mechanism is designed to filter characters similar to text instances. Experiments on several challenging benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art results in scene text detection with an F-measure of 84.6\% on Total-Text and 86.3\% on CTW1500.
