Scale-Invariant Multi-Oriented Text Detection in Wild Scene Images
Automatic detection of scene texts in the wild is a challenging problem, particularly due to the difficulties in handling (i) occlusions of varying percentages, (ii) widely different scales and orientations, (iii) severe degradations in the image quality etc. In this article, we propose a fully convolutional neural network architecture consisting of a novel Feature Representation Block (FRB) capable of efficient abstraction of information. The proposed network has been trained using curriculum learning with respect to difficulties in image samples and gradual pixel-wise blurring. It is capable of detecting texts of different scales and orientations suffered by blurring from multiple possible sources, non-uniform illumination as well as partial occlusions of varying percentages. Text detection performance of the proposed framework on various benchmark sample databases including ICDAR 2015, ICDAR 2017 MLT, COCO-Text and MSRA-TD500 improves respective state-of-the-art results significantly. Source code of the proposed architecture will be made available at github.

DPointNet: A Density-Oriented PointNet for 3D Object Detection in Point Clouds
For current object detectors, the scale of the receptive field of feature extraction operators usually increases layer by layer. Those operators are called scale-oriented operators in this paper, such as the convolution …

We present a novel approach for oriented object detection, named TricubeNet, which localizes oriented objects using visual cues ($i.e.,$ heatmap) instead of oriented box offsets regression. We represent each object as a …
