摘要：

A significant challenge in scene text detection is the large variation in text sizes. In particular, small text are usually hard to detect. This paper presents an accurate oriented text detector based on Faster R-CNN. We observe that Faster R-CNN is suitable for general object detection but inadequate for scene text detection due to the large variation in text size. We apply feature fusion both in RPN and Fast R-CNN to alleviate this problem and furthermore, enhance model's ability to detect relatively small text. Our text detector achieves comparable results to those state of the art methods on ICDAR 2015 and MSRA-TD500, showing its advantage and applicability.
