MediaText: a media industry-based dataset for scene text detetcion (Q6699604)

Media-Text Media-Text dataset comprising images of banners, posters, covers and another images characterised for media industry. Full paper is available here: Media-Text: a Media Industry-Based Dataset for Scene Text Detection DATASET DESCRIPTION 400 images 7 744 annotated text instances 973 annotations have been marked as illegible for the task of text recognition 659 texts have been markes as do not care (###) for scene text detection. Images are represented by 193 unique resolutions. Annotation Format - Each image has corresponding gt_*.txt file, which contains annotations in bounding box format (defined by 4 courners), transcription, and bool flag which determines that text is illegible for OCR. Proposed format is similar to ICDAR15 annotations. x1, x2, ..., x4, y4, transcription, OCR Flag Example:37,68,198,49,214,181,52,200,LADIES,False ACKNOWLEDGMENT This work was supported by the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) through the subsidy for maintaining and developing research potential grant in 2024 for young researchers, No. 2/070/BKM24/0058, and by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education "Implementation Doctorate" No. DWD/5/0511/2021.
