I have been working on text detection and recognition for almost two months and new on this field. So far, I have fine-tuned, tested, and trained several text detection/recognition methods, such as CRAFT, TextFuseNet, CharNet for detection, and clova.ai model for recognition. Now I come up with this question:

  • Can object detection approaches(yolov5,efficientDet) be used to solve text/detection problems?

    Hello. Let me try to understand if I understood your concerns/problem. You have used **text** detection methods for **text** detection. Now, you want to use **object** detection methods for **text** detection. You're asking if that will work? If this is correct, why do you want to use object detection methods/models for text detection? – nbro Jan 25 '21 at 13:01
  • Hello. It's a suggestion from my supervisor, and now I am stuck with these ideas. I wanted to know if there is someone already experienced this kind of task. – yakhyo Jan 26 '21 at 01:20
  • Ok, then rather than asking "Is object detection right way for text detection/recognition?", it would be better to ask "can object detection approaches be used to solve text/detection problems?". – nbro Jan 26 '21 at 02:00
