Indian script character recognition: a survey

Text detection and recognition in a natural environment are key components of many applications, ranging from business card digitization to shop indexation in a street. This competition aims at assessing the ability of state-of-the-art methods to detect Multi-Lingual Text (MLT) in scene images, such as in contents gathered from the Internet media and in modern cities where multiple cultures live and communicate together. This competition is an extension of the Robust Reading Competition (RRC) which has been held since 2003 both in ICDAR and in an online context. The proposed competition is presented as a new challenge of the RRC. The dataset built for this challenge largely extends the previous RRC editions in many aspects: the multi-lingual text, the size of the dataset, the multi-oriented text, the wide variety of scenes. The dataset is comprised of 18,000 images which contain text belonging to 9 languages. The challenge is comprised of three tasks related to text detection and script classification. We have received a total of 16 participations from the research and industrial communities. This paper presents the dataset, the tasks and the findings of this RRC-MLT challenge.

ICDAR2017 Robust Reading Challenge on Multi-Lingual Scene Text Detection and Script Identification - RRC-MLT

Since December 2019, the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused world-wide turmoil in a short period of time, and the infection, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is spreading rapidly AI-driven tools are used to identify Coronavirus outbreaks as well as forecast their nature of spread, where imaging techniques are widely used, such as CT scans and chest X-rays (CXRs) In this paper, motivated by the fact that X-ray imaging systems are more prevalent and cheaper than CT scan systems, a deep learning-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, which we call Truncated Inception Net, is proposed to screen COVID-19 positive CXRs from other non-COVID and/or healthy cases To validate our proposal, six different types of datasets were employed by taking the following CXRs: COVID-19 positive, Pneumonia positive, Tuberculosis positive, and healthy cases into account The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 9996% (AUC of 10) in classifying COVID-19 positive cases from combined Pneumonia and healthy cases Similarly, it achieved an accuracy of 9992% (AUC of 099) in classifying COVID-19 positive cases from combined Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, and healthy CXRs To the best of our knowledge, as of now, the achieved results outperform the existing AI-driven tools for screening COVID-19 using the acquired CXRs, and proves the viability of using the proposed Truncated Inception Net as a screening tool

Truncated inception net: COVID-19 outbreak screening using chest X-rays.

An OCR system is proposed that can read two Indian language scripts: Bangla and Devnagari (Hindi), the most popular ones in the Indian subcontinent. These scripts, having the same origin in ancient Brahmi script, have many features in common and hence a single system can be modeled to recognize them. In the proposed model, document digitization, skew detection, text line segmentation and zone separation, word and character segmentation, character grouping into basic, modifier and compound character category are done for both scripts by the same set of algorithms. The feature sets and classification tree as well as the knowledge base required for error correction (such as lexicon) differ for Bangla and Devnagari. The system shows a good performance for single font scripts printed on clear documents.
