Abstract
A processor may generate a plurality of intermediate feature layers of an image using convolutional neural network (CNN) processing. For each intermediate feature layer, the processor may generate a plurality of text proposals using a region proposal network (RPN). Each text proposal may comprise a portion of the intermediate feature layer that is predicted to contain text. The processor may perform OCR processing on image data within a plurality of regions of the image to generate a text result for each region. Each region may comprise at least one of the text proposals. The processor may assemble the text results into a text string comprising the text results ordered according to a spatial order in which the plurality of regions appear within the image.
