UNITS: Unsupervised Intermediate Training Stage for Scene Text Detection. (arXiv:2205.04683v1 [cs.CV])

Recent scene text detection methods are almost based on deep learning and
data-driven. Synthetic data is commonly adopted for pre-training due to
expensive annotation cost. However, there are obvious domain discrepancies
between synthetic data and real-world data. It may lead to sub-optimal
performance to directly adopt the model initialized by synthetic data in the
fine-tuning stage. In this paper, we propose a new training paradigm for scene
text detection, which introduces an \textbf{UN}supervised \textbf{I}ntermediate
\textbf{T}raining \textbf{S}tage (UNITS) that builds a …
