TextViTCNN: Enhancing Natural Scene Text Recognition with Hybrid Transformer and Convolutional Networks
摘要
In the field of STR, This research presents TextViTCNN, an innovative architecture that merges the benefits of CNNs and ViT. By innovatively integrating features from CNNs and ViT, TextViTCNN provides a powerful solution to cope with the inherent complexity of STR. Our model is particularly adept at handling diverse and irregular English and self-constructed Uyghur texts, and significantly improves recognition accuracy by effectively merging local and global features through a learning-based feature fusion layer. The decoder employs a strategy that incorporates mask and substitution context learning, and integrates word length information through the training process of a pre-trained language model (PLM), allowing TextViTCNN to achieve the most advanced performance in experiments.
