ufl_scene_text_recognition

C++ (OpenCV) implementation of the Unsupervised Feature Learning algorithm of Adam Coates and Andrew Ng for Scene Text Detection and Recognition

Content

• ./ source code for scene text recognition. Depends on OpenCV >= 3.0-beta and liblinear >= 1.94 (included) and blas (part of liblinear but maybe potentially replaced by libblas system lib).

• liblinear-1.94/ snapshot of liblinear in order to be able to reproduce exactly the same model.

• train/ source code and data to build the filter bank, extract train/test features, and train the linear classifier. See train/README

Compilation

 cmake .
 make
