Curved Text Detection

The SCUT-CTW1500 dataset contains 1,500 images: 1,000 for training and 500 for testing. In particular, it provides 10,751 cropped text instance images, including 3,530 with curved text. The images are manually harvested from the Internet, image libraries such as Google Open-Image, or phone cameras. The dataset contains a lot of horizontal and multi-oriented text.

The UrduDoc Dataset is a benchmark dataset for Urdu text line detection in scanned documents. It is created as a byproduct of the UTRSet-Real dataset generation process. Comprising 478 diverse images collected from various sources such as books, documents, manuscripts, and newspapers, it offers a valuable resource for research in Urdu document analysis. It includes 358 pages for training and 120 pages for validation, featuring a wide range of styles, scales, and lighting conditions. It serves as a benchmark for evaluating printed Urdu text detection models, and the benchmark results of state-of-the-art models are provided. The Contour-Net model demonstrates the best performance in terms of h-mean. The UrduDoc dataset is the first of its kind for printed Urdu text line detection and will advance research in the field. It will be made publicly available for non-commercial, academic, and research purposes upon request and execution of a no-cost license agreement. To request the dataset and for more information and details about the UrduDoc , UTRSet-Real & UTRSet-Synth datasets, please refer to the Project Website of our paper "UTRNet: High-Resolution Urdu Text Recognition In Printed Documents"
