TBIA-DBNet: A Two-Branch Image-Adaptive DBNet for Scene Text Detection in Real-World Foggy Scenes
摘要
Though deep learning-based scene text detection methods have achieved promising results on conventional datasets, these methods are unable to maintain optimal performance in adverse weather conditions, such as foggy weather. To alleviate this problem, we propose a Two-Branch Image-Adaptive DBNet (TBIA-DBNet) framework. Specifically, to avoid missing discriminable features from the original image in one branch, we design an Image Enhancement Network (IENet) in another branch. Additionally, we design a Fusion Module based on Coordinate Attention (FMCA) to fully integrate original and enhanced features. Experimental results demonstrate that TBIA-DBNet significantly enhances scene text detection performance in foggy weather. Notably, it improves detection accuracy by nearly 10 \(\mathrm{{\%}}\) in real-world foggy weather conditions compared to existing methods.
