# An implementation of CVPR 2020 paper "SCATTER: Selective Context Attentional Scene Text Recognizer"

[Paper](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_CVPR_2020/papers/Litman_SCATTER_Selective_Context_Attentional_Scene_Text_Recognizer_CVPR_2020_paper.pdf) | [Pretrained model](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1niuPM6otpSQFSai8Ft2bO0lhdqEjE96Z?usp=sharing)

## Introduction
This is an unofficial implementation of paper "SCATTER: Selective Context Attentional Scene Text Recognizer" published at CVPR 2020.

## Getting Started

### Dependency
- This work was tested with PyTorch 1.6.0, CUDA 10.2, python 3.6.10 and Ubuntu 18.04.
```
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
```
- requirements : lmdb, pillow, nltk, natsort
```
pip3 install lmdb pillow nltk natsort
```

### Dataset
- training dataset: [MJSynth (MJ)](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/text/)[1], [SynthText (ST)](http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/scenetext/)[2] and 
[SynthAdd (SA)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.00751.pdf) [3]
- validation datasets : the union of the training sets [IC13](http://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=2)[4], [IC15](http://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=4)[5], [IIIT](http://cvit.iiit.ac.in/projects/SceneTextUnderstanding/IIIT5K.html)[6], and [SVT](http://www.iapr-tc11.org/mediawiki/index.php/The_Street_View_Text_Dataset)[7].\
evaluation datasets : benchmark evaluation datasets, consist of [IIIT](http://cvit.iiit.ac.in/projects/SceneTextUnderstanding/IIIT5K.html)[5], [SVT](http://www.iapr-tc11.org/mediawiki/index.php/The_Street_View_Text_Dataset)[7], [IC03](http://www.iapr-tc11.org/mediawiki/index.php/ICDAR_2003_Robust_Reading_Competitions)[8], [IC13](http://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=2)[4], [IC15](http://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=4)[5], [SVTP](http://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_iccv_2013/papers/Phan_Recognizing_Text_with_2013_ICCV_paper.pdf)[9], and [CUTE](http://cs-chan.com/downloads_CUTE80_dataset.html)[10].

### Pretrained Model

Two pretrained models are provided (Will be updated when better models are trained):
1. non-senstive: includes ten digits (0-9) and 26 characters (a-z).
2. sensitive: includes all readable characters.
   
Pretrained models can be downloaded [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1niuPM6otpSQFSai8Ft2bO0lhdqEjE96Z?usp=sharing)

### Run demo
- With non-sensitve model
```
python demo.py --saved_model scatter-case-non-sensitive.pth --image_folder <path_to_image_folder>
```

- With sensitve model
```
python demo.py --saved_model scatter-case-sensitive.pth --sensitive --image_folder <path_to_image_folder>
```

### Training and evaluation

Download lmdb dataset for traininig and evaluation provided by [deep-text-recognition-benchmark](https://github.com/clovaai/deep-text-recognition-benchmark) from [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/192UfE9agQUMNq6AgU3_E05_FcPZK4hyt)

Download addition dataset SynthText_Add (SA) for training from [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1agZ9ufDNYfzdQe1fGWH3dSk6L5BQU0o0) (includes raw images and lmdb format).

Training 
```
python3 train.py --train_data data_lmdb_release/training --valid_data data_lmdb_release/validation --select_data MJ-ST-SA --batch_ratio 0.4-0.4-0.2 --sensitive 
```

Testing

```
python3 test.py --eval_data data_lmdb_release/evaluation --saved_model scatter-case-sensitive.pth --sensitive --data_filtering_off
```

### Reported results

- Using evaluation set [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/192UfE9agQUMNq6AgU3_E05_FcPZK4hyt)

- Compare with result in the original paper and baseline model.
