Abstract

In this work, we propose a new algorithm framework based on Transformer to address the distortion problem of scene text images caused by shooting angles or lighting conditions. This new algorithm framework is called Scene text image transformer (StTr). Specifically, we use a feature extractor containing six convolution modules for feature extraction. Then, we flatten the obtained feature maps and input them into the Transformer encoder and decoder. After obtaining the displacement matrix, we use it to perform geometric correction on the input image. We also use Transformer to eliminate the lighting problem and improve the accuracy of OCR recognition. We evaluated our StTr on different datasets and achieved a 16.73% improvement in accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, our model has the advantages of being lightweight and efficient.
