Abstract
A method and apparatus for training a character detector based on weak supervision, a character detection system and a computer readable storage medium are provided, wherein the method includes: inputting coarse-grained annotation information of a to-be-processed object, wherein the coarse-grained annotation information including a whole bounding outline of a word, text bar or line of the to-be-processed objected; dividing the whole bounding outline of the coarse-grained annotation information, to obtain a coarse bounding box of a character of the to-be-processed object; obtaining a predicted bounding box of the character of the to-be-processed object through a neural network model from the coarse-grained annotation information; and determining a fine bounding box of the character of the to-be-processed object as character-based annotation of the to-be-processed object, according to the coarse bounding box and the predicted bounding box.
