| Field | Response |
|---|---|
| Intended Application(s) & Domain(s): | OCR: This model is intended to be used in computer vision application for recognizing the optical characters in a scene. OCD: This model is intended to be used for detecting text in images. |
| Model Type: | OCR: This model is intended for developers who want to recognize/identify text from image data. OCD: This model is intended for developers who want to detect optical characters from image data. |
| Intended Users: | OCR: This model is intended for developers who want to customize optical character recognition models. OCD: This model is intended to be used for detecting text in images. |
| Output: | OCR: Sequence of characters OCD: BBox or polygon coordinates for each detected text in the input image |
| Describe how the model works: | OCR: The training algorithm minimizes the connectionist temporal classification (CTC) loss between a ground truth character sequence from the image and a predicted characters sequence. Characters are decoded from the sequence output by a best-path decoding method. OCD: Based on DBNet, a network architecture for real-time scene text detection, this model aims to solve the problem of text localization and segmentation in natural images with complex backgrounds and various text shapes. |
| Technical Limitations: | OCR: This model performs best on images representing its training set: Uber Text and TextOCR. Uber Text contains street view images. TextOCR has images with text in various scenes. Further fine-tuning might be required for domain-specific accuracy. OCD: The NVIDIA OCDNet trainable model is trained on Uber Text, which contains street-view images only. Further fine-tuning might be required for domain-specific accuracy. |
| Verified to have met prescribed NVIDIA standards: | OCR: Yes OCD: Yes |
| Performance Metrics: | OCR: Accuracy OCD: hmean |
| Potential Risks: | OCR: None Known OCR: None Known |
